 The Most Honest Teacher of Poker April 14, 2008

Dr. Schoonmaker in my opinion is the most honest teacher of poker & life that I have ever crossed paths with. His writing, and observation of human behavior and the poker table/player is right on the money! I highly recommend this book for any semi professional, or someone who is considering becoming a professional poker player, or casual players of poker that want an edge on the home poker game. Limit, or no limit it works with both.

Reverse implied odds? Give me a break. Even Andy Black would be confused by this book. Give me Super System I/II any time.
Great for players working on improving January 14, 2008

If you liked either of the author's previous poker books, The Psychology of Poker and/or Your Worst Poker Enemy, this book is a neccessary continuation of the lesson. YBPF is not a strategy book, and will disappoint those expecting one. This book lays out strategies for improving your game that are very practical. Of course, most of you won't actually get around to doing any of the things Schoonemaker recommends, just like you already gave up on your New Year's resolutions. That is why I don't mind giving an honest review and saying that if you take this stuff seriously you will improve.
Also, there are some interesting updates to some of Schoonemaker's ideas from YWPE, especially regarding his hard-line stance that no one should ever quit their day job to play poker, and how on-line play is changing poker.
