The Course: Serious Hold 'Em Strategy For Smart Players

To me it is an Amazing guide I am reading the pages with passion as they are exactly filling the gaps I have in the game. Thanks Ed!

Jeder Pokerspieler sollte es in seiner Bibliothek haben. Pünktlich in ausgezeichnetem Zustand geliefert. Ed Miller ist einer der am meisten unterschätzten Autoren, aber seine Bücher sind sehr lehrreich.

After reading some other modern poker books, I deceided to take a look at Ed miller's last book since he is a known author with good review. I expected nothing less than what the book promisses, poker strategy for smart players. What I find is a system that assumes all people playing 1/2-1/3 is lobotomized people who just want to throw money away, maybe in EEUU it's like that and lucky you, but in Barcelona's Casino the amount of regs/aware players it's incredible high, and I'm not the one who says this, since i'm still in learning phase and I could be missjudging, this is said by good players I know who make a living out of it. What sounds funny to me is that all those "super smart" strategies are just regular strategies anyone who has googled poker strategy would know, so I honestly find the tone of the book really presumptuous and condescending. Tbh I'm pretty sure if instead applying my current knowledge I had applied what I've seen on this book I would have blowed my bankroll... Also the way he argues is pretty unconvincing and prone to making high variance moves and gamble.

I recommend this book for any cash game player, (with or without experience yet of live games). it will definitely help you adopt a winning strategy at the table and also avoid obvious mistakes most players do. even if your goal is not to go from 1-2 to 2-5 and over, and you want to stay at 1-2 you should definitely read this book as the 2-5 skills are also important to be mastered as a second stage if you want to improve your game. cash game players - this book is your new bible ! NB : not oriented for tournament players, this book is really specific to cash game.

This book manages to bring about a smooth introduction to the world of no limit Hold’Em strategy as well as a taste of many of the more advanced strategies and skills one needs to master in order to succeed in the game. It was a great pleasure reading this peace of art, I strongly encourage players at absolutely all levels to familiarize themselves with this writing. The author makes a strong effort to encourage further reading and makes the best attempt at promoting further interest in anyone who plays the game.

This has improved my game and whilst I’m still learning and re-reading, tidying up my range and actually winning
