Has anyone purchased poker books...

I ended up getting Phil Hellmuth's book for Christmas but thought it to be very largely disappointing so bought two more...

Obviously not settling for any old rubbish, I got Super System 2, and Harrington on Holdem which, although I hadn't heard of it, seemed to be top notch on NLHE tournaments.

I've had more chance to peruse Harrington's book admittedly, but so far I've found it to be by far the better of the two. Maybe because it's solely concentrating on Hold'em tournament play and the mathematics of poker which matters so much with online play.

That said, I can't fault either and will read both from cover to cover eventually (barring 2-7 lowball draw on brunson's book, whatever the hell that may be), and both are a mile better than Hellmuth's book

of course, the day the two books arrived, I won £145 by winning a 29-player £10 buy-in tournament before opening a page on either book

I really want to find a deuce to 7 lowball game. I've read up on it and it seems really good. They started razz up on pokerpages, I may ask for a lowball game

you can play 2-7 and A-5 Low ball on Ultimate bet

Really? Wow. Shows how often I've played UB lately then.

I take it Serpico blackmailed you into becoming a member of OTF then?

I'm exhausted and quite drunk...playing now probably wouldn't be too wise, right? :/

I think its time to structure my poker play to make money:


I know many of you use limit cash games to accumulate cash and change up the levels from 0.50/1 to 1/2, 2/4, 3/6, 5/10 etc. My problem is cash games bore me like nothing else on earth

Does anyone think its possible to do the same with SNGs?

I have around $25 right now and am going to start playing $5 SNGs, with the aim of reaching $100. Once I reach $100, I will switch to $10 buy-ins. If I drop below $50, I'll switch back down. If I reach $300, I'll withdraw $100, and switch up to $20 and probably try to turn the remaining $200 into $500 or something.

Can this work, or am I doomed to failure?
