i respect him as a tournament, nlhe player, but not really for anything else. all of his jewelry is in that game, and i respect players who can play a number of games well, rather than those that are specialists. players like lederer or negreanu, who seem to do well in side games and tournaments, and in a variety of games.
the only chapter of his first book that i put a lot of stock in was the tournament hold em section. i liked some of the others, but in general i thought they were a bit basic.
