I just published a review of Bennett Onika’s “Unleash Your Hidden Poker Memory”. Here’s the short version:
This is why Onika’s lack of poker expertise is such a problem: it’s the only thing he’s really bringing to the table. You’d probably be better off learning memorization tricks from one of the original experts and then using your own judgment about how to apply them at the poker table. At least you wouldn’t have someone consistently pointing you in the wrong direction. I could go on and on about Unleash Your Hidden Poker Memory‘s misguided poker advice, but frankly it got exhausting keeping track of the book’s many errors, and I gave up trying. Guess I need to improve my memory.
Have you read it? What did you think? I’m particularly curious to hear from anyone who’s actually done all the work the author recommends to train your memory, and how that worked for you.
