-Beginner and Intermediate
Overview
This is the sequel to the original book
by Lou Krieger on Texas Hold'em basics and more advanced concepts.
In this volume, Krieger reviews some important basic strategy
information and then includes a collection of some original essays
and others he has previously published as a columnist for
CardPlayer.
A developing player could pick this book
up on its own and receive some generally solid all-around playing
advice. However, most of the columns deal with more niche concepts
such as bankroll management and psychology at the table.
Unfortunately, much of the book is just a loosely bound collection
of essays. You may feel unfulfilled as the essays don't go into
extreme detail, but if you do want to pick this book up it is
generally less expensive than its counterparts.
Comments
There is no disputing that Lou Krieger
is a fundamentally sound limit poker player who shares proper poker
strategy. However, I don't think that this book is necessary for
those who already enjoyed the first volume. Some of the new columns
were worth a second read but mostly I glossed over a bulk of this
text the first time around. Most intermediate players probably
already grasp the concepts in this book, and I think that it
should've been put out as its own title rather than as a sequel to
the more in-depth original Excellence.
Score
Out of 10, I give More Hold'em
Excellence a
6. I like Lou, but I don't see the necessity of adding this one to
your poker library if you're looking for solid strategy volumes.
