jonnyz 0 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 low buy in($100 to $400 max) online tables. I have read most of the old literature on NL but it is mostly geared to higher stakes or games where the buyin to blinds ratio is a lot different, so although the overall theory might be correct I don't beleive they give you the ability to maximize your profit. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites

skoal_dip 0 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I'm with you on this one. I multi the .50/1.00 and 1/2 on stars and the only book i've ever read is Cloutier's Championship NLHE which isn't exactly useful. Any help finding a book geared to these types of game would be much appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites

Suited_Up 2 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Try Mastering No Limit Hold'em by Russell Fox or the McEvoy book...it's called the New Player's Guide or something like that.Yeah, this is the only entire book dedicated to what you're asking. Although aseems suggestion also has a nice section on NL.I do own this book, but I haven't really gotten to reading it yet, so I can't tell you whether it's any good.

akishore 0 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 personally, i'm not a big fan of the russell fox book.i don't know if my opinion has much weight or is credible enough, though. i don't own it, but i just spent about half hour skimming it and reading some parts in detail at the bookstore.i do remember thinking multiple times that this book is filled with errors. just turned me off, honestly.but again, i don't know how much water my opinion holds since i didn't read the whole thing.aseem Link to post Share on other sites

Suited_Up 2 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Since this thread popped back up....I finished the Russel Fox book...It wasn't bad... but it also wasn't anything I really didn't know already. But if you're going in pretty fresh, it's not bad. You definitely need to adjust their style to the game your in though. They play very tight and raise quite a bit preflop. Which in live games is ok, but online, if I try raising 4x + 1x per limper... I will never get called in the FT games. So it just takes a lil adjustment. But for the most part, it's solid advice that couldn't really hurt. But nothing new... you can pretty much figure it all out if you read enough forums with decent info.
