I think the books tell how to play ABC poker.  They will tell you the easy hands to play and be aggressive with it. It is easy to do, you play these hands almost the same every time.  Poker books are like magic books, they will tell you the very basics but will never divulge the big secrets.

You give me a hand like KQ offsuit.  I could write a whole book on just that hand alone.  When to play it, when to let it go.  When to raise with it, when to try and limp in and see a cheap flop.

The stuff in books that are the meat and patatoes are the stuff like gap theory and positional betting.  That is what really matter in holdem.  The abillity to represent strength and to truely bully your opponents.  You can win playing any two cards if you know what the other poeple play like.

I have learned alot from the books I have read but I think I play alot better when I don't get the respect from the table I deserve.  I love to show a hand when I play something like 10 2 suited and get people scratching their heads.  When you can do that, your profitability just went up.  You know eventually someone is going to call when you have it and will let some good hands go when you don't.
