I never knew much about Rolf Slotboom, but I knew that I needed some No Limit help which is why I took a chance with this four disk set. I got Ed Miller's on limit back in March and loved it. That was significant because this one was made by the exact same production team, and, not surprisingly, is every bit as good. Slotboom lets us know right up front that he is a cash game specialist who doesn't do tournaments so we won't likely see him on ESPN in the near future.
Winning Plays is an attempt on the part of Slotboom to help limit players adjust and succeed in their transition to NL cash ring games. He is careful to point out that the DVDs do not apply to tourneys and that there is already have a gigantic volume of information available concerning them which is, of course, true. But "why NL cash games?" you may want to know. Well, if one goes online (while we still can!) and looks at the difference, in terms of action, between the no limit games and the rock gardenesque limit ones, you will quickly appreciate the need for game diversity--if you ever hope to make a cent that is.
No Limit is a horrifying wakeup for the limit exclusive rounder, and, in these three discs, Slotboom shares insight after insight which will unquestionably ease their adjustment. He also provides a fourth disc in which the lessons are given in reverse; thereby, highlighting the problems the no limiter has crossing over into the actuarial world of limit.
