In order to make money playing limit hold'em, one must play well. Inorder to maximize money playing limit hold'em, one must also strive to convince other players that you don't play as well as you really do. At least, this is the thesis to the book, Play Poker Like a Pigeon and Take the Money Home by an anonymous author.
The first six chapters cover the theme of the book, how to increase one's poker profits by convincing the other players at the table that you don't know how to play well. From there we move into other topics, including poker math, tells, money management, online poker, and tournaments.
The basic theme of the book is a reasonable one, although Anonymousis not the first author to consider the subject. Play PokerLike a Pigeon has some reasonable things to say on this subject, and on a few other topics, such as tells. The problem is,that the best of these chapters are filled with hyperbole by the author, and the worst are packed with incorrect information.
On the 'not too bad' side, we have the author suggesting that a playershould occasionally play weak hands that aren't as weak as they first appear with the intention of showing these hands down, thus convincing other players that the same player isn't very good.Anonymous makes it seem like this is a novel observation, but itisn't. In fact, many of the book authors Anonymous decries advocateoccasionally playing non-traditional hands in spots where one can'get in cheap,' be especially deceptive, or provide the 'illusion ofaction.'
The chapter on tells emphasizes the overall message that finding personal mannerisms, even in very weak players, is not nearly as important as correctly interpreting what their actions on variousbetting rounds mean. I agree with this as a general concept, althoughthere's a lot of extraneous information that surrounds this basicpoint that doesn't work. In this chapter the author also analyzes the famous Chris Moneymaker bluff of Sammy Farha, and I think his analysis here is pretty good.
On the 'much worse' side, we have the author's math chapter, which iswrong on just about every level. The tournament chapter is also simply atrocious, where his calculations of a player's tournament expectation are simply ridiculous. His understanding of online poker is so weak, it appalls me that he would choose to write on this topic.
Each of his chapters does contain at least a few nuggets of truth, buttoo few of these statements are insightful, and, at best, they are balancedby hyperbole. At worst they are buried in a morass of senselessness.
There's nothing in Play Poker Like a Pigeon that isn'talready substantially covered in other sources, and with less nonsense.Even if someone were curious about what the author has to say in thefirst few chapters, the chapters where the worthwhile information isn'tcompletely overwhelmed by ignorance, I just don't think there's enoughhere to make the book worthwhile. Therefore, I can't recommend it, asa whole or in parts.
Capsule:
Play Poker Like a Pigeon and Take the Money Home startsoff discussing how a winning player can make more money by convincingother players that he's a loser. The book then moves on to other topicssuch as poker math, bankroll management, online play, and poker tournaments. It is my opinion that the book is mediocre at its outsetbefore getting progressively worse, and at its nadir, its advice isas bad as any poker book I've read. I cannot recommend this book.
Note: I received a free review copy of this book from the publisher.I have no other interest, financial or otherwise, in the success ofthis book.
