Using the preflop range we defined in this article, let’s examine how often an opponent will hit something valuable on the prototypical K72 rainbow flop. Please check the previous similar articles for extra information about the charts and what the columns mean.
After Let There Be Range and The Pot-Limit Omaha Book – Transitioning From NLHE To PLO, here is DailyVariance’s third ebook, entitled The NLHE Workbook – Exploiting Regulars.
It was written by Tri “SlowHabit” Nguyen (who co-authored all DailyVariance books) with the help of Tom “kingsofcards” Marchese, a strong and successful high-stakes NLHE player.
The book webpage says it will be explained to the readers “why many SSNL/MSNLers fail to reach 5/10NL”. It costs $200, and it is available for $120 as of this writing. The target audience is clearly small and mid-stakes players with good experience, looking for getting ahead of the competition — even if they are already winning at their current stake thanks to good table selection.
The ebook is 119 pages, divided into 13 chapters. The first eleven chapters explain the concepts, and Chapter Twelve (The Exam) contains a full list of sample hands, organized as a quiz so as to put the previous advice into practice.
Pot-Limit Omaha — Understanding Winning Play marks the arrival of Two Plus Two Publishing on the rising PLO market, just some weeks after the publication of Jeff Hwang’s second PLO book and Rolf Slotboom’s Secrets of Short-handed Pot-Limit Omaha.
It is authored by William Jockusch, a gentleman with a passion for poker and games in general, from AD&D to Magic: The Gathering. He earned a math PhD at the MIT, but he was unknown on the poker scene till now.
Most 2+2 books are bestsellers and they have a solid reputation; it has been a long time since they have not published a bad book (The Psychology of Poker coming to mind). However, it is my opinion that some of their releases were rather disappointing, like both Collin Moshman’s books about SnG and heads-up NLHE. They sold well anyway, but I found them simply too basic. Let’s see if Jockusch’s PLO book falls into this category.
It is a bit more than 300 pages, divided into eight parts. The last two parts contains sample hands and a quiz, respectively.
