No Limit Texas Hold 'Em Books


Weapon X

Recommended Posts

On my way through Vegas i saw some dude reading a holdem book. he had no luggage, and looked like he hadnt changed in days. he was on his way home.

 

I said it woulda helped to have read the book on the previous end of his trip. he wasnt amused, but i was, then o took me 36 hours to make 4 1/2 hours away.

Gambling sucks!

I worked in a pub is sydney which had 30 poker machines (like the one arm bandits in vegas). these 30 machines took over $250,000 a week minimum after all the payouts that gamblers received. at times it is closer to 300,000!

serious amounts of Car,credit cards, rent payments down the drain.

I can't beleive so many of you waste money on net gambling.

I don't care if you made $50 online, you play long enough you will lose.

I watched it happen to people every workday for over a year.

nice generalization...but i have been playing online for 2 years and i definatly have never lost money

2 years aint a career.

see if your in profit after 10.

really thanks for your concern... poker isnt my career, just a nice profitable hobby.

btw my father has been playing for 40 fukin years and has paid for every vacation and dinner out for my parents, new kitchen w/granite countertops and stainless steel appliances... now the tv room is getting new hardwood floor on thursday and flatscreen and leather couches.. guess what all poker winnings...

The friend I previously mentioned cashed out (after much encouragement) $10,000 of his $15,000 earnings.

 

All it takes is smart play and willingness to prove that you're a real player by cashing out and starting all over again. And good friends who know what is best for you, I guess.

 

*granted, it ain't after two years, but still, house doesn't always win. Just most of the time.

Yeah, but that's exactly why Blood Feast doesn't know what he's talking about:

 

Unless you're fucking with carnival games, you don't play the 'house' in poker.

 

Edit: My bad. He was talking about online play. Even still, there is no playing the house in poker. When I'm at the casino I'll hear people mentioning 'house odds' and I can't help but laugh.

I recommend "Play Poker Like the Pros" by Phill Hellmuth. i first started online to get the feel of the game.... then i read that book and i noticed my SKILLS AND PROFIT.. going up a lot.

"The Biggest Game in Town" by A. Alvarez. Nice behind the scenes look of an early 80's Binion Championship.

 

The player Jim McManus teaches lit and writing at my school. He has an interesting story about when he played. I catch him on TV every once and a while. He teaches a poker class there too.

Jim McNamus... he is the Author of "Poker and Positively Fifth Street". hes a Decent poker player. Good Book though. Chris "Jesus" Ferguson beat him heads up in the 2006 heads up Poker championship in the Quarter Finals. He had a good showing. Thats the last time i heard about him.

 

NE2... when am i going to get the chance to take your money.... or even your dads money... just let me know. :cool:
