Title: bad for beginners
Product review: This is a book that is very, very dangerous for beginners at texas holdem. (If you are beginner, the book is a 1 star book)Hellmuth tells you to play only a few, very good hands preflop. That is good.Then he tells you to play them all the same: VERY AGGRESSIVE. And this is not a good advice if you are playing low-limit holdem.To use his own language: there are to many elephants (callingstations) at lowlimit.A lot of players will stay even if you play aggressively preflop and on flop. If you are sitting with 77, 88, 99 (hands that Hellmuth tells you to raise and reraise) or something like that, you will lose a lot when you dont hit a set.This aggressive strategy only works if the other players fold, and in low limit they dont.This book explains Hellmuths style, and that style is not something to use against elephants. If you want to learn how to play, buy for example Lee Jones: "Winning Low Limit holdem".
