This whole poker hiatus thing is pissing me off. I want to play sooo bad. I just can't always find the time. I have been making time lately, but I don't know how long that will last. I have resolved to play a tourney a night. I switched my main focus to tourneys, and SnGs for now to get over my "bored of poker" hump.

I have been going slowly through HoH for the last couple of days, and here is my personal opinion thus far.

I think that he has put together a very understandable and studiable book. It has good concepts presented in a way that the beginner can accept and learn. Two things though. I think he rambles a little, and therefor the book has a wierd order to it. He tends to go off on tangents, then write something like, "I will discuss more on this topic in Section 4." This may just be the fact that all poker concepts tend to blend together so tightly. However, I don't remember seeing that quite as much in other people's writings. Second, I think he has mixed the terms aggressive and loose. He talks about an aggressive style player having a wider opening hand range. As far as I understand, that is not true. LOOSE player plays more hands. I also think that his descriptions may have come from an earlier time, when these words were used defferently.

Well, that's my BUMP and attempt to keep this OP thread going. Thanks for reading, and commenting if you decide to.
