Didnt want to stop reading it! Quite fascinating to see how an agressive player thinks. I dont think it helped my game though. I tried some of that stuff and got killed. Still, it is a great book. Maybe it will come to me.
This book is great! I am relatively new to poker, but I've read the Harrington's and the Phil Gordon's etc. etc.
Those books teach you the basics and then go on to teach some strategy.
Winning One Hand at a Time is strictly strategy driven. You're shown a hand, and then Rizen, Pearljammer or Apestyles breaksdown how to play the hand. It sounds pretty simple, but it's cool to see how these internet greats play their hands.
It's well formated, and easy to read. The writing is clear and easy to follow. I think any fan of poker, or anyone learning or studying poker will enjoy this book.
I can't wait for Vol. II.
Do not read this book I really don't want any of my opponents to have read this book. Enough said
Must Have addition to any Poker Library Any online player is familiar with these 3 great players & has probably already ordered this excellent book. It is chock full of the thought processes that are used in almost all situations that might arrive in a poker tournament. You aren't just presented with theories and hand charts, but with the real "nuts and bolts" of how to think through the situations that most often occur and are puzzling to even advanced players. John "PearlJammer" Turner's section is the best part of this book, but you will learn plenty from all the authors. If you are a brick and mortar player make sure you buy this book. This is Required Reading & should be a part of any Poker Library.
Three pros breaking down the game I just finished this book up last week...first thought is what an easy read. The book really moves through and organizes everything well.
Rizen and Pearljammer are a good contrast since Rizen is a looser player while Pearljammer seemingly makes some impossible laydowns. The best part of this book is that it goes through the thought processes that true pros go through during a hand. It really helps you out when you're thinking through a hand in a tournament.
I thoroughly enjoyed the organization of the breakdown on the thought processes. It shows you what they were thinking during the setup, pre-flop, flop, turn, and river individually. It also updates the pot size accordingly, which most books I have read in the past do not.
"One hand at a Time" was a great read, very informative, and actually has improved my tournament play already. I would highly recommend adding it to your collection as soon as possible.
