The nice thing about books is that you get insight into many different authors perspectives on the game, game play, strategies, reading the board, reading other players and their actions, arious ways of playing different types of players in similar or different situations, as well as dealing with all the different types of adversity that you face playing poker.
Books broaden my poker horizons and my knowledge base, by giving me many different iews, perspectives, and interpretations of the subject, from which to build from. If you want to learn to be ery good at something, you need to incorporate as much of the knowledge base about the subject as possible.
Almost every author will state in their books that the information, strategies, and style of play that they use works for them, but not necessarily for you, and that you should experiment and find what works best for you in all the arious situations that you find yourself in any one game.
But even with all the learned knowledge, you still n... | | Read Entire Entry |

There has been a lot of talk here about poker literature. I think it is great that you can learn from the best players. It might otherwise take you years to practise to get good at it. I have so far in my few months of playing only read one book (Poker for Dummies), but it has helped me a great deal. Just knowing the starting hands has meant that I have been able to play good since the book.
I would say the way to learn poker on a fast track is to read some of the books and play a lot.
And you're not supposed to play like the book says, anyone can do that, but rather use the ideas and incorprate them into your own game.

Glad to see you guys both making an effort to clear things up. (I know, I'm Canadian, maybe I should have been Swiss )
Back on topic, I'm looking forward to your reviews of any of the books you think worthwhile, AG.

You might not agree with my opinions 100% because you might think differently but i will say what i think. I'm not a type of person that will agree with everyone just to look good. Even if 10 people think the answer is yes and i think the answer is no i will stick to no and i don't care what the other 10 think. ( I have the right to say my own opinion)
It isn't about your opinion being different, nor reading someones post. That is both fine and, in fact, encouraged. Good debates are one of the best parts of a forum. Rather, taking the time to capitalize/type out your words is the "effort" I was referring to.
Ok second, Yes i do agree with yo... | | Read Entire Entry |

First, here are some arguments for a change in your communication style. I hope that at least one, if not both will be persuasive:
1. It is a courtesy to other forum members: by not capitalizing and/or punctuating you are basically saying "Cardschat members are not worth my effort".
This is NOT a chatroom, it is NOT a text message. This is a poker forum.
Really, how hard is it to type "to" instead of "2" (one extra character) or "you" instead of "u" (two extra characters), etc.
2. Any points you want to make will come across better because:
-- they will be more easily read and understood.
--your presentation will say that you took the time and effort to formulate your thought (as opposed to your current run on sentence format).

i have not read any books, not because i don't want to. i really don't have a reason as to why i havn't. before i joined this forum i thought i was a decent player. i quickly learned that i have much to learn. i never thought that there was so much involved in this game until i came here. like i said i have never read any of the books, i do want to, but what i have read is this forum, everyday since i joined. just by reading this forum, my game has improved drastically. i am a firm believer in the power or reading, and that knowledge is power. i will read whatever i get my hands on. non-fiction, fiction, periodicals, articles on the web, etc etc. i am not trying to say that reading is the end all be all, however i don't think my game would be where it is without it.

yes good point, this is exactly why i said i dont use books because they just tell you how to play and how to bet etc etc...but you are the one thats actually making those plays and you should figure out how to play yrself, but books do help and i a lot of my friends use books and i know someone who has made the ft in the sunday mill on starts for like 8 or 9k i believe and took 9th place using some kind of a book. i didnt say books were bad for you but no matter how good the book is or how good the player that wrote it, its u that makes the plays and it always depends what kind of opponents you are playing and what kind of cards you are getting dealt and details like that. and yes maybe i do suck at spelling, punctuating, explaining ery good, and all of that but i try to do my best and im used to saying 2 instead of to or too because of cell phones and just talking to friend... | | Read Entire Entry |

Here is a link to the Guidelines to this forum.
You will note that they include the following (emphasis mine):
GUIDELINES:
• Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, comprising of either limited words or nonsensical content.
• Please use capital letters in the appropriate places and try to punctuate your posts.
You will further note that all of your threads fail to live up to the latter, and that most of them also fail in the former, consisting mostly of one line comments like, "i agree", "good luck", "that's funny" and other wastes of bandwidth.
