Last, i've probably read at least 20-30 books on hold 'em. Brunson's on hold 'em is the bible (the other games are written about by other gamblers) but there are other books that are really good as well. Helmuth's book was put together so he can make money. (mine)
basically, any book that makes you aware of what to look out for is worth it if you are going to play.
again, read and play lo limit until you are comfortable. Here in LA, at the commerce club or Hollywood park, you can find a 1-2 game. Not my cup of tea but a good
learning experience.
If you are a noob, DO NOT PLAY THE MIRAGE OR BELLAGIO. YOU WILL GET YOUR HEAD HANDED TO YOU. What used to be Binions downtown still has some good games as does Palace Station. The MGM used to have a great poker room until they took it out and put lions there instead. Around 4:00am, the poker room manager used to bring out hot fresh donuts and muffins with coffee free for whoever was there. That was great.
I forgot one thing on my list
7. If you can, always have the strongest player to your right. That way he/she cant go over the top of your bet. you can see what he/she is going to do b/4 you do what do you. Just ask the floor manager for a seat change or even a table change.
