read the book Play Poker Like the Pros by Phil Hellmuth
I hope it is for tournaments only.... Cause he is not good in cash games.
Have you read it, dagoO?
I have not read it but if I look really good book I hope will
even though I'm a professional fund already: D just kidding xD
in the beginning, i didnt like poker books at all.
my brother bought one for me for christmas Lol :)
that really changed my mind about poker, I read alot of it.
thanks gonna read it (probably) [ one of these days] { or over a few weeks :P}
As arrogant as he is, I just don't know if that would be a good read. I could be wrong.
Reading gives different persective, especially online players, only see small window
I'm not reading any book by Phil Helmuth. What is chapter one - how to whine and cry like a baby and berate people for beating you?
I just dont think I could read a book by Phil Hellmuth.
Hellmuth knows his stuff... Sure he's a jerk but he's a smart jerk.
I'd like to read a poker book by Phil Hellmuth. Even though he is a whiner he is a damn good poker player.
Starting playing NLHE when i was 12 and this was the first poker book I ever read; I was 14, tops. It primarily deals with cash game, in fact, it might be all cash game, and it has lots of stuff about limit, which is absolutely useless. It has like two good points that I can summarize here if people want. I am 22 now (bday was yesterday :cool:) and can confidently say that this is probably one of the WORST poker books on the market.
I know where you are coming from with this post ... I too read this book many years ago ... more then once even.Quote:

Having said that, if you want some fundamentally sound (nitty) strategies in multiple poker games it is still a decent read. Basically if you want some HORSE strategies ... and I mean ABC (noob) type strats then its good. If all you play is NLH then ya there are plenty of better books out there.
Lots of bracelets. Way more than us and cash. I just wanna be lucky. Playing with the all in fest in pokerowned tournaments what can the book possibly teach you. Call the all in or Fold???
I think that is an interesting book considering that Hellmuth is one of the best players in the world :))) I would be one happy to read it
ok not sure if you are just saying reed the book or if u have read the book lol.Quote:

I don't think I will trust his books at all so no need to buy his books.
Is it helpful?
i might take a look at this book..i hope its on sale though..
go to your local library ... this book and Super System are at most of themQuote:

I wonder if he talks about how to steal money like the pros also ;0 UBet
I have not read the book
This book is all about cash games. I have it in my collection. It is decent, nothing extraordinary
Hellmuth is a self-centered prick. I wouldn't be surprised if there are memoirs hiding there.
Sklansky and Malmuth: "Theory of poker"
Brunson: "Super system, an advanced guide to power poker"
Barry Greenstein: "Ace on the river"
Try these..
there is nothing pro about poker. its just that the really good players make it look like a pro game. anyone can beat anyone here. of course i am not counting in the donkeys.
will have to check this book out...but there are so many books out its like whch are the best 1s to pick up...and do other books really tell you how to play...nooo....they just give examples of situations!!
lool m2
the book is interesting: D!
I do think he is a better player then people give him credit for, but I still would not read this book.
Already read it a long time ago. It's pretty good, it gives good advice. But as is in poker, it's always best to adjust to your opponents style of play. Besides, who wouldn't want advice from the only player to win both the US WSOP main event and the WSOPE main event.
I rather read Harrington and that forum where the book came from.
