Official SlowHabit Review Thread - Page 2

Isnt slowhabit some swedish zerg? Im guessing its not the same guy :o

lachlan got one to wtfffff how did i miss out

oh well im sure its a fine book and all

Im really doubting if I should get this book, I mean If you had sent it to like Midian or Twisted and they had given it a good review Id insta buy it .

it might not be geared towards the higher stakes players he probably wants you to buy let there be range

I'm unsure as to whether or not this book would be helpful.

It may be worthwhile for reasons phexac mentioned.

The book for 97$ is E-book ???

he sent me an email about it too, replied to it to the email address he gave me but still no answer..

yeah i am pretty tempted to buy this as ima get back into poker i think/hope, but i rly wanna hear from some midstakes players its worth it.

Hi,

This is the unknown chump. Please be kind

One thing no one has mentioned is nosebleeder kingsofcards helped me with the book. He's really good and is one of the best NL players in the world. He also play a style that is "easier" to learn and you can see why in the quiz section. According to many reviews, the Quiz is the best part by far. He has a well over at 2p2 and you can learn more about him: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/56/medium-stakes-pl-nl/well-kingsofcards-539219/

As for me, I play up to 10/20nl and recently spend a lot of time on PLO because PLO is a really beautiful game and is very addicting. It also feel good to "get" PLO while there are so many helpless souls grinding at the tables.

Some people asked me whether they should learn NL or PLO in the current state of games. If you are planning to be a professional poker player, I would start with NL even though PLO is a more profitable game right now. The reason is a lot of poker concepts and fundamentals are easier to learn in NL than in PLO. Thus, it's easier to transition from NL to PLO than the other way around. It's not surprising that the best NL players pick up PLO very quickly but the opposite isn't true. If you just want to make a few bucks here and there, I think picking up PLO is a better route since there's a good chance you'll run hot and keep running hot.

Feel free to ask anything. For those who are unsure of my poker credentials, I recently did a radio interview on Mediocre Poker Radio and you can check me out at:
Radio Interview . Hopefully, I can get some street cred.

All the best,
- Tri

how much of an influence does kingsofcards have on this book? is it just a few chapters that he wrote or is he involved in every chapter? etc

who else is involved in the book and how big a part do they play in it?

not that i dont respect your game or anything, i just think its important to completely explain what part kingsofcards has in this book if you're using him to help sell it.

thanks

concrescene,

Those are very good questions and I'm not offended at all.

kingsofcards read the text and offered his advice on the chapters I've written, especially the section regarding the Quiz. In the Quiz, we went in depth regarding which lines to take, board structures, and how often a play would work.

The HHs in the quiz are particularly helpful because I used an approach that hasn't been before but have been very well-received by many of our reviewers. Often times, when you are watching a video at a training site (or reading forum posts), a respected player will say that his decision making will changed based on board structure, whether Villain check or bet, etc but never take the time to expand on it. In the book, we actually go through these hypothetical scenarios and give you our reasoning.

For example, you have JTo in a 3-bet pot. Your opponent checks to you. What is your decision on a 8s9s2c flop and and on a 8c9s2d flop? A lot of players fail to recognize the huge difference between these two board textures and how it should influence the way you play your hand.

Another example is which hands would you flat more often pre-flop, AA or KK? In what game conditions and against what type of opponents do you flat more with AA or KK. Again, although the scenario seems simple, a lot of players fail to recognize the difference and it's costing them money.

Feel free to ask more.

Limited-time offer (24-hours). Use the code LP10 to get 10% off the pre-order price.

I am so looking forward to this
will start reading on monday i guess ( Lots of university stuff to do till then)

From what other people reviewd this book seems to exactly help where i struggle

I have played NL50-Nl200 in 2009
I beat NL50 6max with a tag style for a ~ 2,5-3ptbb /100 winrate
I am basically longterm breakeven on Nl100 forever and just had a few shots at NL200 after running hot at Nl100 from time to time

My main problem is that often on Nl100 tables everybody plays the same as me >-< and all the money just comes from setups ...

really hope this will help

Think I'm gonna get it. Interested in what is said in it .

appreciate the offer still an ebook

id pay the 90 bux if you ship a hardcopy over

The example quiz question was pretty basic stuff for me. It's just 90$ though but yeah an e-book kinda sucks I'm not even sure if I'm gonna read past like 5 pages cuz I don't like reading long text samples on the internet.

cheap fucker wont send me a copy
