Book Reviews of More Hold'em Excellence: A Winner for Life

Book Review: An Excellent Read On Hold'em
Summary: 5 Stars

Lou Krieger is a new name for me this summer of 2009 and I must say that I am quite happy to have found this outstanding author.

The presentation is clear and you get a barn full of insight and just plain good advice. I will now add ALL of Lou's books to my poker library.

The ONLY criticism that I have is that when the title of a book is "Hold'em", then please don't give examples from other poker formats! On page 13, Lou writes: "If you adopt an ""any two cards can win" philosophy in hold'em or play STUD HANDS like 3c,3s,7d" (Stud? what is Stud?)

On page 20 Lou writes: "Suppose you're playing hold'em. You hold As,Kc"

SUPPOSE you're playing hold'em? The Title of the book is Hold'em!
One should not have to "suppose" any such thing!

Should the day arrive that I wish to learn Omaha, then I will buy a book on Omaha, and hope that the writer does not talk about hold'em!


Another error (my opinion of course) that other writers such as Ed Miller or Phil Gordon or Howard Lederer make is to author a book on No Limit Hold'em (NLHE) and the repeatedly make references to how a hand would be played differently in a limit game. Don't do that! If your Title includes the words "No Limit" then please stay focused on the NLHE game. Likewise, if your thesis is about a Cash Game, then please don't discuss how Ace-King is played differently in a Tournament Game.

Anyway, back to Lou's "More Hold'em Excellence".
Yes, as Jim Cramer says on "Mad Money", "Buy! Buy! Buy!"

This book is a great value for the money.
Perfect for the beginner to intermediate Journeyman and a refresher for the advanced player as well.
