This book is perhaps the most difficult read I’ve had since the last time I picked up a Faulkner novel. Lesson #1: Do not attempt to read this book if you are not completely alert So far, these are the takeaways I have from it. So, I hoped that this book could help get my game back on track.
I used to be able to feast on players back in the early and mid-2000s, but those days are long gone. I have known for several years that the game of poker has evolved and, largely, passed me by. I even respected the publishers for having the balls to charge $30 for an online book. So, naturally, when I found a poker strategy book that professional players kept mentioning as tip-top, I was interested. I read for fun all the time, and I particularly enjoy books that pertain to my few interests. I attended one of the most elite private schools in Texas from kindergarten to graduation, and I have two advanced degrees, including an MBA from Texas Christian University. I don’t often toot my own horn, but I’m something of an academic. However, as a corollary to why it’s taking me so long, the parts that I have read have convinced me that I am, in fact, too stupid to play poker now.
The first thing I want to say about Matthew Janda’s No-Limit Hold’em for Advanced Players is that I am still not finished reading it.
