Daniel Negreanu is one of my favorite poker authors. I have been reading (and saving) every one of his weekly newspaper poker columns for two or three years. He has a gift for communicating all things poker. I was afraid that his book, Hold'em Wisdom for all Players
Daniel serves up 50 pithy chapters of poker wisdom. Regardless of your level of poker expertise, there is something here for you. Here are a few zingers that I really liked.
1) "More often than not, the tells you're looking for come from reading your opponents' betting patterns." Page 28.
2) "Don't show your cards when squaring off against great players." Page 36.
3) "As a rule, proceed cautiously if a weak player calls you on the flop." Page 39.
4) "If you bluff a bad player you then become one." Page 39.
5) "If your standard raise of five times the big blind is more than 30% of your total stack, then just go ahead and move all in." Page 45.
6) "A pot-sized bet and a bet of approximately one-half the pot will yield about the same information." Page 53.
7) "So ideally, as a short stack, you want to avoid stealing blinds entirely." Page 60.
8) "When there are short stacks in the blinds, be very aggressive and raise with a wide variety of hands." Page 90.
9) "No-limit Texas hold'em specifically is a game of implied odds, meaning that you are looking to make small investments early in the hand in the hopes that it will pay off big time later on." Page 99.
Daniel is simply too young to be so wise. But, that is a good thing. Think what he will be writing thirty years from now.
