- Hold'em For Advanced Players
How useful is this book for someone that doesn't play cash games very often and only players low limit (1/2) cash games when he does? My primary focus is on tournament play, and I don't want to waste my time reading this really exciting book if it has nothing to do with tournaments.

- Tournament Poker for Advanced Players
Is this book any good? It seems like the reviews say it really isn't a book for advanced players, but for people who play a lot of limit poker and are moving to tournament poker. I've read the Theory of Poker and loved it, so I was just curious if this book is worth picking up.

Thanks guys :wink:
- Small Stakes Hold'em
Has anyone else read this book?
I've found it to be pretty sub-par for a 2+2 book. It basically assumes that low-limit games are full of complete morons and gives you very little (if any) advice as to what to do when you realize that, *gasp*, most low-limit games have at least a few people in them who...
