Has anybody read this?

I just picked it up and I've read the first few chapters. I'll post my complete thoughts on it when I finish. I was just wondering what anybody who has already read it thinks of it. It seems like he's advocating a super tight style of play as the way to go...I'm not sure if I agree with that or not yet.

Please let us know...I like the kind of books that make you see things from a different perspective. Speaking of those kind of books I'm getting ready to start reading "Beyond Tells"

"Beyond Tells"?? Who is the author? Be sure to start a thread and post your opinions after you read it.

I read it, and didn't particularly like it. To me, it just seemed to be stressing the same theme over and over and over again: the whole patience/discipline bit.

Grinding it out is admittedly a lot like that... but still. The first 20 bits are pretty much exactly the same.

Always bet like you've got a pair.
