I reread the Pot Limit and NL Poker book by Bob Ciaffone and Stewart Reuben (1st edition in 1997)  this week.  Well, I reread the hold'em sections, the pot-limit omaha and lowball stuff was interesting but I probably won't play those games often. 

The book has a good deal of basic examples for transistioning your thinking from limit to "big-bet poker".  And there is a lot of emphasis on fundamentals such as position and adjusting for stack sizes. 

That being said, the dry school-masterly tone of a Ciaffone book always leaves me wondering "what was that about" when I am finished.  The organization within the chapter is somewhat hap-hazard, for example instead of having sections on flop/turn/river, it appears there are 4 pages on the tactic of going all-in while attempting to list the possible circumstances.  In the book is sometimes as hard to follow as that last sentence.

Overall Ciaffone recommends a tight safe style (Reuben occasionally interjects some more cavalier commentary).  There is one sample hand where he recommends folding bottom set in an unraised pot to a single pot sized flop raise.   In the modern day game, you probably stick with the set a little longer barring some great read.  Remember, for a time this was the only nl/pl book out there besides Supersystem.  The advice is pretty sound, especially the general poker advice in the beginning, it just might require a lot of looks to learn it.

My next book, when it arrives, will be the near polar oppositte of Ciaffone, Mike Caro.
