Message: [QUOTE="Real Big Fish, post: 286634, member: 184"] OK, I got it from Doyle's Room 2 days ago. Games covered: Limit Holdem, Omaha 8, Stud 8, PLO, triple draw, and NL Holdem, plus a bonus general concepts section, and a tournament concept section Mike Caro's section is all available from his site Poker1. The principles are simplified and restated, but all lifted from his online library of articles. No 5-card draw section this time. Doyle's NLH section is a grammar and editing fix of his SS1 section. No more random paragraph breaks, bolding and italicization. Then again, if you don't have SS1, this stuff is still very useful as an approach to the game. Jennifer Harman's Limit Holdem section is INCREDIBLE. Very worth it, covers a lot of different material from Baldwin's SS1 section and just blew me away with the situations covered and concepts offered. Internalize this stuff, and it will expand your game. Definitely gonna reread this 219483743 times and hope my play matches the quality of the section. To those concerned about length, the sections on each game are very manageable, and a small portion of those pages are bios of the contributors and a bio of Doyle, a section on the history of NLH and the World Series, an Online section where Doyle pimps his site (nowhere near as bad as Hellmuth's book pimping UB though), a section on specializing in games or being an all-around player, and a section on the WPT and on live multi-day tournaments (the last of which is a strategic section, and WPT includes some addressing of strategy). The 624 pages are not a big dry continuous poker text (*cough*Sklansky*cough*), you pick and choose parts you need as you want to take them, 40-60 pages at a time. At the same time, despite not all of it being directly related to gameplay, Harman's Limit Holdem section along with the only text I know of on 2-7 triple draw (by Daniel Negreanu) make it worthwile alone. I'll continue to add to this as I get to more sections, probably PLO then O/8 then Stud 8 then the aforementioned Triple Draw. Not gonna give up the actual content, but my impressions on the quality of the content and the writing vs. the other material I've seen out there [/QUOTE]
