NLHTAP is a great book. I've read it completely through at least 5 times. fwiw I think Miller new eBook, SSNLH, is better though. I'm just starting my 3rd read of that now.


^ good to know... I've heard nothing but fantastic things about the miller book..

.. speaking of which I need to get off my rear and read it lol I did preorder it but have been doing nothing but playing omaha since

Yep, read it a couple times.

Highly recommend it... one of the funniest books you will ever read and it's not even close.


Movie sucked in comparison

I've never read NLHTAP (will after reading Mr Sticker's review), but SSNLH is fantastic - I've only made it through once, it was so eye-opening and exciting that I haven't had time to re-read it because all I want to do is try the ideas online.

Has anyone on this site done a review of it?

You're playing 6-max right? I've been adapting it to FR and once I stopped triple barreling quite as much and started limiting myself to 1 or 2 bluff shoves on the river per session things have gone much better! :)

Anyone else hate cash games, and play nothing but MTTs and SnGs? Or am I all alone there?
I don't hate cash games, as such, I'm just no good at grinding them, although I do go back to them now and again, but I really don't do that well at them.
Give me a nice juicy mtt anytime, or a sng if I havent got much time to play them.

Yes, 6max - lol, I agree it neeeds to be toned down a bit for FR - and I admit that I've been too chicken to try the river bluff shove much (3 barreling is fun though!!!).

It was a big help to me though to start thinking of FE as "steal equity", and to view 3/4 betting in the context of that and villain types. I'm still working on my 3bet ranges against types, but I'm having fun opening up my game there.

I also don't swear as much when I see I got 3bet by J6s (obviously my fold to 3bet % is a little too high :( ).

Ahhh, you haven't lived until you've shoved slightly more than a PSB in on the river holding 83 on a board of AQQ66 because you know your opponent has an Ace (well so you hope) and there is no way he can call. You just stop breathing as he times down and folds. Exhilarating!

Oh and downswings suck, variance sucks, in the red for the month sucks, but sitting at a table with a full stacked 51/13/2.5, a 33/28/5, and a 85/50/7 that are all full stacked make it all worthwhile :D
