I don't know about you, but I read everything I can get my hands on by Daniel Negreanu. His is one of the easiest to read and understand writing styles in the business.
In Negreanu's latest book, Power Hold'em Strategy, we are treated not only to Negreanu, but also to chapters by Todd Brunson, Erick Lindgren, Evelyn Ng, Paul Wasicka, and David Williams. This is an awesome line-up of young, rich, world-class, professional poker players. And, they all readily share their playing tips and strategies.
The second half of the book belongs to Negreanu. Here he focuses on the playing style that has helped to make him famous and wealthy, small ball. If you have been looking for a textbook on small ball play, this is the book.
Here are a few of the tips you will find for both ring and tournament play, for the novice to the expert.
"A beginning player should live and die by this motto: Raise or fold before the flop!" Page 37.
"Never bluff into multiple opponents when the flop contains both a jack and a 10." Page 99.
"One disadvantage to playing online - and many Internet players don't realize this - is that you can get fatigued pretty easily from staring at the monitor." Page 147.
"If you ever have to show your hand, it's essential that you immediately adjust your play." Page 197.
"You want to show the nuts as often as you're caught bluffing, so that your opponents won't know whether you have it or don't have it." Page 251.
"When you strip the game of tournament poker down to its core, it is a battle for the blinds and antes." Page 294.
Power Hold'em Strategy is 497 pages packed with some of today's brightest thinking about hold'em.
