Do you play hands you should fold? Do you sometimes go too far with hands, hoping to get lucky while knowing that the pot odds don't justify calling?

part of review by Nick Christenson

In Your Worst Poker Enemy, Alan Schoonmaker has written a commendable book about the limitations poker players impose on themselves and how we can adapt to them. I don't always like the construction of the author's arguments, but there are profound truths behind his statements, and I appreciate the author's aggressive delivery. To various extents, every poker player will see themselves in Schoonmaker's book, and many would benefit significantly from his advice. This is one of the better books on the psychology of poker players that I've read.
