Found my friend’s copy of Winning Low-Limit Hold’em<\/a><\/em> last night under a pile of stuff and flipped through a few pages. It’s embarrassing how little of it I’ve actually absorbed. The first time I read the book I thought, “Yeah, this stuff all makes sense,” but I was probably on a rush at the time, so I just barreled through it without really incorporating it into my game. I think a lot of my impatience with, and lackluster results in, limit owes a lot to my not playing it as aggressively as I should. I’m letting my favorite offsuit one-gappers and suited two-gappers (Q9s anyone?) erode my stack, and I’m not pumping the pot enough when my cards and position give me an advantage. I’m going to have to reread this one and see if I can stick to his guidelines for a thousand hands or so. I’ll let you all know what happens.<\/p>\n

On that note, I’ve decided to put together a reading list using some of my profits. What would you recommend? for low stakes limit? for pot\/no limit? for tournament play? for poker in general? Small Stakes Hold ’em<\/em> is on the list. Should I read The Theory of Poker<\/em>, or will it give this English major an aneurysm? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
