I do think it's an interesting book, and was looking for your thoughts, the post wasn't meant as a criticism of the book. My apologies if it came across that way.

I think the danger of reading too much, though, is sometimes you read contradictory things (authors with different strategies, etc), and it can get confusing. But more knowledge is always a good thing. I don't own anywhere near to 60 books however. Currently the poker books I own are Daniel Negreanu's Power Hold'em strategy, The Mathematics of Poker by Bill Chen and Jerrod Ankenman, Gus Hansen's Every Hand Revealed, Small Stakes Hold'Em by Sklansky, Malmuth and Miller, and the Harrington on Hold'Em series.<br><br>Out of your collection, what are the books that you recommend most highly?

Out of your collection, what are the books that you recommend most highly?

I current own over 60 books and have read some more than once and still don't have a positive EV from my playing. I own this one as well. I think the important thing is that you think about poker, read about poker and play poker. Of course the more you read, the more conflicted you could become. I am of the opinion that the more knowledge and experience you get, the better you will be. That said, at least I learned that I am not paying proper attention to the math side of poker and that over the long haul, I will probably be losing more that I win until I change that part of my game.
