Every year, about a month before the World Series of Poker rolls around, I like to sharpen my skills by reading a poker strategy book. This year, about a month before the WSOP, the stars aligned as a new book hit the market — Ed Miller's The Course: Serious Hold'em Strategy for Smart Players.
I've read and enjoyed many of Miller's past works, so it only seemed natural to pick up his ninth book, which focused on teaching smart players how to win playing poker. However, unlike the majority of books, which focus on tournament play, The Course emphasizes cash games; specifically stakes applicable to me like $1/$2 and $2/$5.
