The guy writing the essay-post entitled 'read a book' doesn't even know what books are out there? Come on now.

The best book with helmuth involved is either kill phil or red em and reap, niether of which are actually written by him.

Just reading a book gets you nowhere near where your head needs to be to play poker well or even think about it in a logical fashion. Think of it as if it's learning a language. You need both instruction and experience: plimseur and that spanish soap opera channel - not on mute this time. Books are good, they help, but for the beginner learning that you're talking about, there's nothing like walking thru a few hand histories with an experienced player.

The forums and a little money in an account is enough to learn on. And the more bad analogies the experienced players come up with, the better everyone gets.

btw... where the hell is Fnord?
