Got 1st!!! $3,588. Thx for the railbirding robert. I'm sure it helped spur me on.

Great heads up battle. If there's one thing on Ladbrokes that you can always get, it's the freedom to play poker heads up. Unfortunately this guy wasn't an all-in nutter and gave me a run 4 my money.

Got lucky tho - reraised his preflop raise with A7. Outdrew his JJ with a str8 on river. But I guess u need to get lucky at some point during the comp. Just glad my 2 outdraws came in the final 5. Ty poker fairies.

Great stuff snoopy - it continues a great day for the blondeites, after J-8 Penly won the 'Stars Heads-Up match against McEvoy. Just need a blondeite to win the Notts £100 now. (Though it won't be ME.....)

Well. Cloutier's was the first I read. Nothing too advanced, but great for beginners.

Super System is a must.

Killer Poker is worth a read if you're struggling with discipline.

Recently, Harrington's 2 volumes have been a real eye-opener. Uses specific examples siting a range of different scenarios. Excellent read.

Just started reading Barry Greenstein's 'Ace on the River'.

Although it starts out with a lot of page fillers, things do start to pick up and Barry makes some interesting points.

I like the fact that the book looks a bit different. Big, clear, and colourful, although some of the lovely pictures could do with a caption or two.

Has any1 else read this? I'm approaching the strategy sections.

Couldn't believe their was a chapter on the ins and out of the brain. Bizarre.  Huh?

I've read Greenstein's book and I'm still not sure what I think of it!  Its highly rated by the top pros but seems to get much criticism from the 'general' poker population.

The key thing is to understand that its not a 'how to' book in the typical sense.  I think the majority of those left disappointed by it would not have realised this prior to purchasing it.  Also, Barry has long stated that he aimed the book at the mid/high professional player looking to make the 'next step'.  Consequently, there's potentially little of relevance in there to a low stakes online player starting out.

Mason Malmuth managed to trigger a lot of debate by awarding it 10 out of 10 (which he does VERY rarely in his reviews).  I certainly wouldn't class it in such a lofty category (but perhaps this means I'm not good enough to fully appreciate it!) but it was an interesting read and is probably something which I'll re-read at some stage and re-evaluate.

I like Barry's book - it's different from the 'what to do on the button when there's a bet and a raise in front of you' type of books on the market. That's not to say it's necessarily better, but it gives a different viewpoint on the game by having a 'bigger picture' perspective.

It also has much higher production values than other poker books - full colour thoughout - which is really cool.
