Advanced Pot-Limit Omaha Volume III: The Short-handed Workbook: Volume 3

excellent

This is volume 3 of a 3 volume series about Omaha Poker, a growing trend in Poker in the last years.(This review is identical to the one posted for Volume one, since it is actually a review of the whole 3-volume package)The whole series is phenomenal. I can say that it obviously aims to do for Omaha cash games what Harrington series did for Tournament Hold' Em Poker... It has a similar structure, the 2 first volumes explain some of the writer's strategies in the game (as described in the title actually), while the third volume is packed with exercises, example hands, quizzes that help you check out where are you at, according to the writer's rankings...Jeff Hwang is a really good writer, with his biggest advantage being the ability to explain with simple terms and thoughts a game that is much more complex than Hold' em.In order for the reader to be able to gain full grasp and advantages of this series, he has to have read "The Big Play Strategy" prior to this. There you will find the basic strategies and foundations of Omaha Poker, and "The Big Play strategy" is actually the ground zero in Omaha Poker books of this millenium...So go get that first (if you haven't already bought it) and then proceed with this series. Personally I did exactly that, and after reading the Big Play Strategy, I purchased all three of them at once... A great investment!By the way, this is no series for beginners or light readers! The writer is very serious about the game and about his approach to it, so the books are full of great stuff, thoughts, strategies etc... Also all three books are packed with examples! I would even say that sometimes there seem to be too many of them, but then again since Jeff is really good at explaining his thoughts, having A LOT of examples to go with them is only a good thing ;-) Besides what better way to learn more about the game than reviewing and thinking about it through real life played examples?One more thing: For the lovers of ebooks, there are also electronic versions of this trilogy, and for anyone interested, you can purchase that version instead of the hardcopy. Personally, I purchased both!!! You see I bought the hardcopies first, but when the electronic versions appeared, I couldn't resist...For anyone interested in Omaha cash games, for anyone serious about this fascinating form of poker, get "The Big Play Strategy" and then get this triad of books. The best investment you could possibly make!Great job Jeff, thank you very much.
