A Worthwhile Investment

May 26, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Skip to the Negreanu section. It's going to be the most informative, helpful, and profitable toward your sessions.

There are a lot of variables in poker. Every person is different; therefore, everyone's approach to the game is going to be different. However, you should always stick to your style while also switching gears and playing the opposite of the table (tight in a loose game, loose in a tight game).

That said, Negreanu makes some great points about appearing weak and allowing your opponent to lead (even though that will no longer work for him). The most important quote in this book (for me) was a brief mention of an old player Daniel used to know. I don't remember it word for word, but it was something along the lines of, "Why do the pushing when the donkeys will do all the pulling?" Brilliant. Then again, I'm a much better defensive player than offensive player, so it works for me -- might not work for you.

The small ball approach can greatly reduce stress and give skill a much bigger role (you play smaller pots so you have to grind your way to the top opposed to losing on one unlucky hand where you lose all your chips).

Recommended, but skip right to the Negreanu section. Still well worth the investment (time and money).

Best for tournament, not cash game players

April 27, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The book is interesting and presents Negreaunu's "small-ball" strategy for poker. If you intend to play primarily cash games, I do not recommend this book. It is largely geared toward tournament players and deals with how to develop a strategy based on position, stack size, and how high the blinds are for the tournament. As a primarily cash game player, I did not find this helpful and I don't think the tournament focus of the book was well explained by the store page before I purchased it. The book does contain good contributions from multiple big name poker players, so it's interesting to learn their perspectives.

The book focuses primarily on examples of hands rather than presenting overall concepts such as hand ranges to raise preflop by position, equity, pot odds, implied odds, pot control, etc. I also worry that the "small ball" strategy the book is based on is largely outdated and works primarily on ABC poker players who do not represent what you see at casinos and online these days (predominantly loose aggressive or passive players).

Nice theory book, best that I read on a technical perspective.

December 15, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Negreanu is a famous player with some incredible hand reading capabilities. This book goes through different techniques and styles of different players (Daniel included off course). It's a more advanced book so if you are just beginning I would start off with other options to understand the basics.

Daniel's style is very entertaining because it permits you to play lot's off hands trying to gather several small pots and avoiding big mistakes but it's not easy to implement. You should consider that to avoid the biggest mistakes Daniel uses he's hand reading capabilites.

... ball" works in no-limit holdem tournaments Daniel does a great job of explaining its practice and benefits

November 3, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

If you've been wondering how "small ball" works in no-limit holdem tournaments Daniel does a great job of explaining its practice and benefits. He is, after all, currently the top money winner in poker. Even if that strategy doesn't fit your style it's great to know what others are capable of and why, and you also might want to use it occasionally as a change of pace in your own game. There are plenty of example hands in this volume, but not so many you get tired of them. I think this is as good of a book on NLH as any I've read, and I think it will become a classic.

The Negreanu section is worth it

April 22, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book has advice/strategy from several players. It has advice for the novice on how to bet pre-flop in order to avoid the flop (you can read most of this if you preview the book). Also included is advice for online players & cash game players (which I found minimally useful & why I "chopped" a star). The best part & longest part of the book is the last section written by Negreanu. Unfortunately, you can't preview this section. His small ball strategy is different from that of other big time winners I've read & that makes for an interesting read. You won't find the same stuff if you read Brunson or Hansen (both recommended). After reading this section, check out the WPT finals (season 3, I believe) to see his strategy in action.

As a novice player, I found the beginning novice strategy somewhat useful (you can read most of it for free) & the middle section lacking. The "nuts" of the book is definitely Negreanu's section at the end. I would recommend doing with this book what I did with Brunson's book (skip to the end).

Informative Read

April 14, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Power Hold'em has a lot of great players giving their advice on a wide variety of concepts. My favorite spot was definitely Negreanu's part on small ball, where the book goes very in depth on explaining this strategy and giving many examples. A great read for anyone wanting to learn to improve their game.

Pretty good book...

September 18, 2008

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a pretty good book.

Aside from the Evelyn Ng chapter, this is really more of an intermediate to advanced book. For people just starting to play no limit tournaments, though, her chapter is very good, and does present a system that will neutralize some of the trickier players at your table...

For people who have played some, there is some great stuff in here, though.... Paul Wasicka has a real nice chapter on 6-handed no limit hold-em on the internet, lots of good insights there... David Williams has a nice chapter on mixing up your play...

Daniel Negreanu has a long chapter about his "small ball" theory of poker... While I don't agree with all of it, it offers some great insights into the mind of the small-ball player, and he does have one of the best breakdowns of play on the turn and river that I have read...

A real good investment in your poker library.

Written by Pros

December 6, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

True advice from pros, and some of it has already come in handy. The communication from the pros is surprisingly clear. Each seems to have a strategy or set of guidelines. I recommend it to friends because of the multiple perspectives and core advice.
