Product Description

Product Description
Texas Hold'em Odds and Probabilities covers all forms of the game, including limit, no-limit, and tournament situations. This book does more than just show readers how to calculate the odds - more importantly; the focus is on how to apply odds to make better decisions.

About the Author
Matthew’s first book, Internet Texas Hold’em was released in August 2003 and became one of the top-selling poker books in the world. He has written for numerous poker publications and is currently a regular colomnist for Card Player magazine.

Matthew started playing professionally on the Internet in 2001 and has logged thousands of hours online, playing at limits from $1-$2 up to $100-$200 and in countless online tournaments.

Matthew’s tournament accomplishments include winning the 2002 New Zealand Poker Championship and finishing 33rd out of 2576 entrants in the 2004 World Series Main Event. In the 2005 WSOP, Matthew cashed a total of three times while also making the money for the 2nd year in a row in the main event.

Matthew now devotes a lot of his working time to his website and poker forum where he answers questions about his books and general poker strategy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A well-written and comprehensive book on holdem poker odds and probabilities, 27 April 2007
By Karn9evil (England) - See all my reviews
Want a book that tackles in depth the key concept of pot odds, draws, probabilities and even some starting hand options, but whilst not ignoring mathematics, does try to explain it in an understandable way? - then I'd recommend Matthew's book whole-heartedly. Look to Dan Harrington and Arnold Synder for more depth and advanced table strategy with their tournament books, and John Vorhaus's latest 'Killer Poker Online 2' (better than his first one) if you want a few more tips to adapt it all for the manic world of low-stakes internet play, but I think this is the book to provide you with the basic groundwork you need to stop you expensively chasing draws and pushing second-best hands, whilst also giving you enough facts and odds to understand when looking to improve your holding at a reasonable risk is actually a good option in some circumstances. The probability tables/lists at the back are very useful. It comes with a free CD, but that really only takes you to his website and is not essential to the quality or depth of the book at all. In Limit poker such a book is essential, and whilst No-Limit and Tournament play needs a more flexible approach and an eye on implied odds (which to be fair he does cover well), this basic grounding is essential. Every new player needs to build on these firm foundations of pot odds and improvement probabilities, before they move onto developing their own style and advanced strategies and I haven't come across a better book for drawing this area of poker into a single place so well. One for your poker library for sure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ideal Reference Book, 23 April 2009
By Peter H (London, England) - See all my reviews
I bought this to accompany my existing poker collection and to enhance my knowledge on the specific area of odds and probabilities.

You will want to have a knowledge of poker before reading it as it won't necessarily give you an all round lesson in Texas Hold Em. It really does tend to concentrate on the odds/probabilities side of playing hands and the author does a good job of illustrating how those statistics apply to example hands.

I found it helped me to get my head around some of the basic statistics in the game and being able to calculate them rather than memorise them.
