Book Reviews of Hold'em Wisdom for all Players
Book Review: Poker Philosophy 101
Summary: 5 Stars
To the beginner this book may be less than expected/desired. To anyone familiar with the game it is a refreshingly easy-to-read summary of Negreanu's approach to the game.
There are very few numbers, reflecting Daniel's "read the opponent" philosophy. The novice player may be disappointed that he doesn't give a list of starting hands. Instead the author discusses starting hands in terms of position, player types, etc. He does give a brief but adequate discussion of odds, pot odds, and bet selection based on these, but no extensive tables of the things so many poker books emphasize.
Written in short chapters, each touching on a particular topic, he gives his view on topics such as Check Raising, Stealing the Blinds, Playing Suited Connectors, etc. Throughout the book, he directs the reader to the "head game" rather than the numbers game.
I believe anyone can benefit from a quick reading of this book. However, a novice will also need exposure to a more traditional exposition in order to get a firmer grip on the numbers.
I noticed only one error in my first reading. On page 81 in the second paragraph the change should be from 2c to either 2s or 2d if the 50.1% figure is to be correct. Changing to 2h gives 49.3%. This is really a trivial difference, but the purist in me can't refrain from pointing it out.
In summary, the lessons presented in this small volume and the thought processes discussed are what make the difference between winning and losing. If you would like to learn the basic "tricks" that Daniel Negreanu uses this book is an excellent place to start.
