It's been a few months so I thought a refresher in Theory of Poker might be good for me. So I read it for the second time. I'm hoping to try out live poker at the casino some time this year so it seemed a good idea to read ToP again before hitting the felt.
I got quite a bit out of it on the second read. I had forgotten or not really absorbed a lot the first time through. So much of it sunk in a bit better. It is a difficult book and a bit slow reading but worth working through. It definitely helps to understand bluffing and how important understanding bluff is, both using bluff and semi bluff for profit and countering the bluffing of your opponents.
I've got one more poker book to read before I hit the felt. I still need to save up some more bankroll anyway so it fills in the time pretty well. Since the game at the local casino is $1/$2 no limit hold'em I'm going to read an NL cash book.
