 The first great no limit cash game book July 27, 2007
5 out of 10 found this review helpful
After having played limit poker online for 3+ years, I recently made the switch to the much more popular no limit games. In the process of trying to learn the no limit game I found there was a great void in terms of available books and literature on no limit cash games. Sure there was a number of good books on tournament play, but outside of that the only decent book available on no limit was Doyle Brunson's Supersystem 2. Professional No Limit Hold 'em simply blows the doors off of Supersystem. To me the authors have some very revolutionary concepts in the book that are clearly and concisely explained. Let's hope not too many people purchase this book and implement their strategies or the no limit games will become as difficult as the limit games have become.
BOTTOM LINE -- GREAT BOOK AND EASY READ. THANKS A MILLION! CAN'T WAIT FOR VOLUME 2.

This book assembles an amazing amount of experience and success at NL, and it's unbelievable how clear it is. Finally we've got a math whiz who rocks at the game and can guide the rest of us through actually creating a strategy and tactics rather than trial-and-error. I highly recommend this book.
Arguably the best poker book I own. July 24, 2007

This book will do a good job of helping to turn marginal players into successful ones. The ideas presented of REM, commitment, and stack to pot ratios do an excellent job of describing how to eliminate some huge flaws I have seen in other players (and to some extent, myself). As a mid limit pro, I was already aware of these concepts in a vague form, but as described they really helped me understand them in theory and practice.
This book is really ground breaking as far as literature goes. It offers an interesting mix of insights of how to think about poker and how to plan a hand. It may take a while to work some of these ideas into my game but I think it will be well worth the effort. I've really started to focus on commitment thresholds as I play, and I really watch the pot and possible future bets in comparison to my stack. It definitely helps lessen the number of tough decisions I have to make at the table, though poker is a lot about tough decisions so I will never be rid of them entirely.
I'd have to say most of the materials in the book are geared towards play with "aggressive" or "tricky" opponents which as you move up limits you will find more of. But you will find benefit from this book no matter what blind level you play. You will just find more benefit from certain parts of the book when facing different types of opponents.
This book is very useful to me personally because of the opponents which this strategy is geared for. I don't have much trouble playing against a straightforward or passive opponent. I do however have issues against aggressive players. They seem to build huge stacks stealing (or appearing to steal) lots of medium size pots when people get too far in and then fold. I now make sure to either get out quick or commit to the pot (or have a plan).
