Unfortunatly my respect and $2.00 won't get you a seat at a .25/.50 game so don't worry about that. I always consider a book worth the read if you get even 1 piece of information that helps you and I did indeed get that from Phil's book, though I thought the self promotion was shameless, though I guess you should expect nothing less from Phil. I actually like Phil more than most people believe it or not and in his first book a light went on for me when he said if you can never fold what you THINK may be the best hand then you will never be a good No-Limit player. That piece of advice was worth the price of the book to me. I can tell you I was one of those guys who couldn't throw away QQ before the flop or top 2 pr after the flop for any reason, sometimes it is the right move though and if you don't know that you have to learn it for yourself. Now I do think Phil makes very questionable laydowns with big hands, but he is the guy with the bracelets so for now he wins (for now).

I bought Phil's new book it has some interesting stories in it, I'd say it's definitely worth reading if you're a poker junkie. It's all a collection of hand stories from phil and a wack of top pro's . I wouldn't say it's worth the $20 bucks I payed for it since you can easily read the whole thing ina couple days. Get it from the libraby if you can,or just return it to the book store like I did(but make sure you don't fold up the pages or your screwed)

hey
i just picked it up. its a cool book. I can hardly believe some of these beats. I am prolly one of his biggest fans so my opinion might be slightly biased on this one. I also recently bought his poker chip set. Comes with 500 chips+2 DVD's+ his old book "Play Poker Like the Pro's"+ Metal locking Case with glass top+4 lithographed chips for collectors. $195 total on ebay. MSRP$399.99
