Wow what a bitch fest.

Jyms had the best post in here and I agree with him 100%.

I have to LOL @ spenda and whatever he says about SPR because if I'm right he's never read/opened PNL. I might be wrong though but I know he's just against it totally which doesn't make much sense to me. Its hard to argue with him though because he knows poker but doesn't really know the concept so I stopped trying.

As for PNL in general: I've always thought it was one of the better poker books out there for No Limit. There are some retarded things in there like always limp/reraising AA UTG or something because that's the only way to get our SPR down. Overall though I recommend the book a lot to my students who have problems with A) postflop bet sizing, B) knowing when/how to commit, C) just overall thinking through a hand. And at 50 NL or below a LOT of the players have these problems.

On a side note: I wonder how many people against SPR understand it totally and have read the book from front to back? Maybe you should have put that question in the OP so we know who is or isn't spewing from the mouth.
