Message: [QUOTE="MediaBLITZ, post: 2034925, member: 77190"] I am guessing on that - but yeah. Little Green is about as basic as you can get, so if you got through Poker Blueprint you should be okay. From Theory on Poker preface (if this reflects what you are looking for - I think so?): [I]This book is about the general theories and concepts of poker play, which are operative in nearly every variation of poker from five-card draw to Texas hold 'em. It is not a how-to book in the sense of providing the basic rules and a step-by-step procedure for playing the various games. Beginning poker players sometimes ask, "What do you do in this particular situation?" There is really no correct answer to that question because it's the wrong question. Rules of thumb that say to fold one hand, call with another, and raise with yet another simply won't get a poker player beyond the beginning stages. The right question is: "What do you consider in this particular situation before determining what to do?" The Theory of Poker addresses itself to such considerations. It analyzes every aspect of a poker hand from the ante structure to play after the last card has been dealt. By explaining the logic of poker, the book will, I hope, show the reader what kinds of things to think about in order to become a better player.[/I] I have just not read many books (and got a couple shelves full of them) that you don't have to read between the lines a little (or a lot) to get the most out of it. I got a LOT out of Harrington - but honestly that was more from reading between the lines and thinking through it - not the information itself. He, probably more than any of them, provoked me to think. Haven't come across a single book that just hands it all over on a silver platter. Get your highlighter out - get a notebook to jot down thoughts that are provoked by your reading and you will be miles ahead. It's not so much reading as it is studying and thinking about and digesting the material. But also + 1 to Poker Orifice [/QUOTE]
