Middle Limit Holdem Poker

The big difference with this book is over 400 worked examples on a Q and A basis that end the sections covering the various stages of play. By comparing and considering my own answers with those of the authors together with the rationale given, I have changed and improved my game and profitability considerably.

There is a lot of very sound advice in this book and a lot to take in - I have read and re-read it several times and I will continue to do so.

For the player with a good background in the game and who is playing middle limit Hold'em ie $10/20 up to $40/80, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

This book consists of more than 500 examples of poker hands from real play. A description of the play is given followed by the problem, the reader must decide the best course of action before checking the answer. The answers are always very detailed often giving explanations refering to pot odds, previous play by opponents etc. The material is nicely divided up throughout the book, meaning that you can give special consideration to a part of the game that you feel is lacking.
Despite the title i cant help thinking that this book will be useful for all poker players irrespective of the limits that you play. Even if you are used to games much tighter or looser than the types of examples presented here, an awareness of some of the thought processes that a poker player must acquire can only be a good thing.
In conclusion, Ive always thought that the weakness of other poker books is the lack of examples that illustrate specific points. This book more than makes up for it.
