Message: [QUOTE="Cam54, post: 5411391, member: 316267"] Sorry with the holidays coming here I haven't been round quite as much ... and hehe this will take a few :P ..... I 'll start with the book I mentioned ... you are correct mostly and your memory remains intact : ) he advocates a very aggressive strategy ... including large bets up to pot x 2 or a flat out jam ...very aggressive positional play in fast tournaments online and live .. as to why that one , I have mostly played cash games ..but started playing tournaments more and I find I love the excitement and thrill of that format and being under the threat of elimination every hand you play.. I thought it was time I spent a little more time working on that .... as to what I hope to learn ... mostly whatever shakes loose from the tree ... ...Bill Nye said something once and it stuck in my head and I try to live by it ... " Everyone you meet knows something you do not " I feel that's very profound, and will listen to someone for a minute regardless of how I view someone's education level, their politics or any other position they have until they prove to me I should just leave them to their issues and ignorance, and walk away :P .. sadly that is happening more and more often in my country and the world. As to where I am at with my game ... I play 1/2 and 1/3 and sometimes 2/5cash games at the local casinos where they offer daily $35 buy in tournaments and a $150 buy on Sundays at the other one I play at and have my share of cashes and some wins ... these are mostly NLHE although I also love Stud and Razz, and Ace to Five... if I can find the game and will sit down to PLO although I am the very definition of a beginner in Omaha .... I like to play online but don't trust any of the sites offered here very far at all, remembers waking up to a Department of Justice splash page saying my accounts had been frozen and there would be no more play there on Black Friday, so I have even only deposited at 2 of them now and just to get money I had won there in freerolls or parlayed through other small buy in tables , or to be able to continue playing there ... so mostly 1/2 cent and 2/5 cent games and small tournaments say up to $10 buys .. I will play bigger tournaments sometimes up to the $109 buy in tournaments if I can satellite my way in which I do frequently .....but I won't keep much money in any of them .. I basically expect the government here to shut them down at any moment especially if Sheldon Adelson and Trump's DOJ have their way lol ..... Ok so now to the have read list ... quite a few and had to look over my poker bookshelf :P Super System 1and 2 .. Doyle Brunson and various authors The Theory of Poker ... David Sklansky Power Holdem Strategy .. Daniel Negreanu Phil Gordon's Little Green Book .. Phil Gordon Your Worst Poker Enemy ....Alan Schoonmaker Every Hand Revealed .. Gus Hanson No-Limit Holdem Theory and practice .. David Sklansky/Ed Miller Read em and Reap ... Joe Navarro Elements of Poker ...Tommy Angelo Inside The Poker Mind .. David Sklansky/John Feeney Ace on the River .... Barry Greenstein Mike Caro's Most Profitable Holdem Advice .. Mike Caro The Mental Game of Poker Jared Tendler Kill Everyone ...Lee Nelson Harrington on Cash Games .. Dan Harrington Harrington on Holdem ... 1 and 2 Exploitative Play in Live Poker ... Alexander Fitzgerald One of a Kind ...Nolan Dalla/Peter Alson The Myth of Poker Talent .... Alexander Fitzgerald Caro's Book of Poker Tells ... Mike caro The Art of War .... Sun Tzu ... of course not a poker book but it is required reading IMO I have also many articles or small books/reports on many games from authors like Mike Caro .. Tommy Angelo .. Doyle Brunson .... I have others I have never gotten round too including Volume 2 of The Poker tournament Formula .. which will be next The Mathematics of Poker ... Gambling and Probability Guide those two just seem to be way over my head .. I have tried lol And several of the Championship series By TJ Cloutier and or Tom Mcevoy If that seems like a lot .. I have been playing poker since I was like 8 years old it has been a staple in my life and served me in a lot of ways through many years in the Army here and afterwards. I am now over 50 with Grand kids ( My daughter loves Poker so I show her everything she will listen to, The boys are both in the military and couldn't possibly care less about it lol ) .... I am an avid reader, and very passionate about Poker ... I am not even close to a pro but I do love taking money from peeps, that's quite a thrill :P so I try to get better at that and improve my game ... Now for a few that are on the list and I expect at least one of these for Christmas ( Looks Wifey up and down :P ) Professional No-Limit Hold'em Volume 1 .....Matt Flynn Poker's 1 % ... Ed Miller Playing the Player .. Ed Miller Applications of No-Limit Holdem ...Matthew Janda So if you have suggestions I am happy to hear them I love to learn new things useful or well not lol any how ... Thank you for your response and I hope I haven't made your eyes bleed with this little book of mine .... If you celebrate Thanksgiving have a great holiday, and if not just have a fine week ....
