 New book on ring games
Antonio Esfandiari has written a book called "In the Money", and it is out now. Most poker books feature tournament strategy and other tournament aspects, but this is a book focused soley on cash game play.
According to a review I read, the co-author on the book really helped to tone down some of Antonio's style. I don't know if you've read anything he's written before, but he has a tendency to come off as an elitist jerk. He does know his stuff though, so there should be some good info in the book. I haven't read it yet, but here's a quote from the review I read - Quote: |
What makes the book a bit difficult is actually what makes cash game poker the difficult world that it is. Because ring games are often an ever changing conflagration, trying to devise a strategy for them is difficult as well. "In The Money" doesn't lay out a distinct strategy for this very same reason. It does, however, give a very good demonstration of the tactics and thoughts that can be implemented at the tables, which will give many a leg up on becoming a success in such a volatile surrounding.
