 The most original poker book June 24, 2010
Alan N. Schoonmaker (Las Vegas)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Let me begin by saying that Tommy is a good friend who has personally helped me in many ways. After reading a pre-publication draft, I told him, "The good news is that you've written the most original poker book. The bad news is that you've written the most original poker book."
If you want a book that applies the standard formulas, his book is not for you. If you want to look at poker and yourself in a new way, it's a great way to spend your time and money. I won't even try to describe his unique content, organization, and style. I'll just superficially discuss a few of his ideas.
As I psychologist, I loved this sentence: "We begin to see the poker table as an environment rich in the nutrients upon which delusions feed." Poker players' delusions are a major theme in my own books and columns in Card Player magazine. Tommy's book will help you to avoid deluding yourself.
His most original chapter was "Reciprocality." It's an extraordinarily powerful and original idea.
Forgive me, but I can't help making a pun. His position on position is utterly unique. I won't tell you what it is, but I will say, READ IT
Better yet, buy and read the whole book. You'll be glad you did.

I love this book. It's practical and balanced. A must read for a serious player. This Tommy guy is a the real deal when it comes to grinders. He knows how to deal with the downside and the randomness and he knows how to share the knowledge. That's rare. Just the excerpt on the back cover changed my perspective and my game.

This has to be the worst poker book i ever read. This book is for total newbs teaching you the etiquette of poker, like dont talk during a hand, and respect your opponent. Also, quit while you are ahead to prevent sadness, WTF? Dont bother. Paper weight for sure.
Great Book!! September 12, 2009

I loved this book. It addresses the mindset and other non-strategy things that are so valuable to be a successful player.
