Book Reviews of No-Limit Texas Hold'em: A Complete Course
Book Review: Hi-Grade Advice for Low Grade Hold'em.
Summary: 5 Stars
I really appreciated this book which surprised me because I had low expectations for it--mostly due to my never having heard of Angel Largay before. I should note though that it's not a "Complete Course." If someone is a novice and they're looking to learn No Limit then I would advise them to purchase the immaculate No Limit Theory and Practice by Miller and Sklansky before getting anything else. That's the definite work on the subject. However, this author describes a unique aspect of the game which is Low Limit No Limit and he does it quite well. Largay's entirely correct in saying it is an arena like few others. It certainly is and I say that as a person who frequents its obscure tables on a regular basis. The plays, moves, strategies and opponents he describes are exactly like the ones you will find at NL 100 and 200 tables all across the country. Largay's analysis is confined to this area and he does a spectacular job in illustrating the nature of lower limit play. His insight varies from being just average in some sections to absolutely outstanding. The strongest parts are his breakdown of the player types and how one should adjust to them. It starts with Schoonmaker and then becomes all Largay. I was very impressed. I also admired his filter for determining action which is who is more likely to go broke from a particular play--you or your opponent. That's always an important thing to bear in mind when you're in the nether limits as they yell "All In" as much as normal folks yell "Taxi" when hailing a cab. Largay's outlook on the low limit chaos will strike many people as being too conservative but I think his style is far more right than wrong. If you take a look at his angle on playing the double paired board you'll see what I mean. Overall, this is a most valuable work. Personally, my only complaint is the set-up. He could use some of the hand visuals that the 2 + 2 books feature, but that is just a minor issue.
