iveyfan30 0 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 i read both= pretty awful...youre better off buying miss id-hoe something... :-) Link to post Share on other sites
Socko669 0 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Gordon's. Haven't read it, but i like him. Link to post Share on other sites
dead money 1 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Gordon's book is actually pretty good. Less about strategy, and more about being a pro player. Also, it has good stories about him and the "Tiltboys" in it. Link to post Share on other sites
JaysonWeber 0 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Don't buy either?Use the points to get into a tournament... YOU DONT WANT A BOOK WRITTEN BY EITHER PHIL. Link to post Share on other sites

greatwhite 0 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hellmuth has such a bad limit hold'em section you are better off learning on your own. Although this is probablly the worst part of the book it has alot of other flaws in it. I can't imagine Gordan having any worse of a book. Link to post Share on other sites
UNCpoker 0 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Depends on what you want from the book. To learn poker, then neither, lot of better choices out there.Gordon's book is a pretty nice read though. Link to post Share on other sites
the knob 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 lol ok so maybe i wont get one of their booksMy wife bought me Gordon's book for my birthday. I read about half of it while travelling last week, pretty good read from what I have gotten through thus far.One thing you might want to do with your PSO points (since I'm a cheap bastard and priced it out) is look at getting an Amazon gift certificate and buying the books through there instead. Based on the books I was interested in at the PSO store and their price at eBay, the gift certificate would go a bit further than buying the books with PSO points. Link to post Share on other sites

aadams_22 3 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Hellmuth's teachings are geared towards the neophyte poker player...not worth the money. Link to post Share on other sites
