Early Autumn - Apple and Cinnamon

However, there is a dearth of quality material giving advice on how to handle all elements of this complex form of poker.

Summary: "misleading title"
The saying "don't judge a book by it's cover" definitely applies to this book. This is not a generic book that teaches you the "secrets of professional pot-limit omaha". For the fundamentals of playing Omaha you should read Hwang or Ciaffone instead.
This book is about a very specific strategy that the author uses. It should be titled "Secrets of a Professional's Quirky Strategy for Pot-Limit Omaha". It teaches a short-stacking strategy: wait for premium hands and go all-in. While it might be a successful strategy, it is not for the average poker book reader looking to learn the fundamentals of Omaha. Unfortunately the cover, back-cover and other descriptions of the book don't point this out. I'm not saying it's a bad book, but no-where does it describe who this book is useful for: experienced Omaha players who are looking to learn a few short-stacking tricks.
I agree with William J Nicholas's review... not for you and me...

Summary: "One of the standards"
If you are looking to learn PLO, this, Hwang, and Ciaffone are the standards.
The only thing I dislike about any of these books is that they tend to show you the easy hands - you play good cards, you get hit in the face by the flop, and then they explain what to do from there, which is fairly obvious.
They don't go into as much detail about what to do for what you really spend the bulk of your time doing, and that is getting cards that aren't that great, or whiffing on flops - because that is what is hard and requires thought and separates the beginners from the rest.
These books are all for beginners and basically tell you what you need to know to minimize the hard decisions and minimize your losses.
They also discuss a fairly tight strategy that is largely specific to full ring games and live. In that there are very few full ring games online, compared to the shorthanded 6max games that are becoming the standard for PLO regulars online.
Of the standards, Slotboom's is probably the best in terms of the next level discussion, but even then it is a lot of him talking about hands he played - but he does show a lot of the thought that goes behind it and it is a good book.

Summary: "Not for you and me ..."
Having read these reviews, I thought I'd better give my sad opinion too, since most of the reviews miss the biggest point.
Unless you are an advanced Omaha player, this book is not for you. If you don't have an exceptional understanding of the game, the stuff Rolf writes will go right over your head. God help you (and your bankroll) if you try using it in money games.
One reviewer is right in saying to read Hwang first. Ciaffone would be another good choice.

Summary: "Talk About Interesting"
Ok folks, up front this is not a how to book. Actually there is very little information in this book about starting hands, semi bluffing ect. This book is more about Power Plays. It is about using betting to lure in the action, controlling the pot, and most of all: understanding a great players use of logic rather than pure aggression. Rolf goes through hand scenerios that he has been in, in specific types of games.
For Example: He tells of his time playing in a loose aggressive game in Vienna and how he was able to develop a systematic approach in beating this particular game. P.S. It is fascinating to read.
His style is very erradic but once you read a few of his "Tales from the Felt" (as I call it) you begin to comprehend why he plays these hands a certain way in one game and completely different in another type of game.
If you are an intermediate player I would still say you should read: Jeff Hwangs, Pot Limit Omaha book first and then read this one. Because the concepts in this book are advanced and you must have a clear understanding of the game to fully grasp the ideas and plays in this book. If you don't you will loose alot of money attempting these Power Plays.
On a Personal Note:
I play Omaha hi/lo Ring Games at my local casino and there are moments when I can understand these plays and incorporate them into my game and they have helped me get that extra value for my hand that I could not get before.
Hope this helps!
