Product Description
Product Description
All of a sudden, poker is everywhere. Card rooms are bursting at the seams, home games are springing up in living rooms across the country, tournament coverage fills the television schedules...and of course online poker has opened up the game to millions. But, the simple fact is that most poker players understand very little of the subtleties of the game, and most of them lose money more often than not. The good news is that it only takes a little effort to play reasonably well and - if you're shrewd - you can easily turn a healthy profit. This book will show you how. No-limit Texas Hold'em is not only the most popular form of poker being played today, but also the fastest growing; yet there are few books on the subject for beginners and improvers. This book redresses the balance, providing a comprehensive tutorial in no-limit Hold'em, starting from square one. You will learn: the basics - rules, hand rankings, jargon and etiquette; principles of good play - when to bet, and when to get out; poker psychology - playing styles, table image, tells and bluffs; and the mathematics of poker - how to work the probabilities and odds. Plus, valuable hints and tips, including: strategy for online and face-to-face play; how to manage your money and maximise your return; and the truth about cheating. By the time you're done, you'll understand the game better, make more money and have more fun playing. We bet you.
From the Author
Over the years, we've read more than our fair share of poker books - some of them good and some of them not so good. But very few of them attempt to set out the fundamental principles of no-limit hold'em strategy in their entirety, and in a form accessible to the less experienced player. There are great books on poker theory by Sklansky, for example, but most don't focus on hold'em. There are numerous good books on fixed-limit hold'em, but fixed-limit is so different from no-limit that the cross-over is minimal. And of course most self-respecting top poker pros have now made their own contribution with a book on expert strategy. Why would a pro stoop to write for beginners? Most of them can't remember what's it's like to learn the game, let alone struggle with it like lesser mortals do. All this is a real shame since no-limit hold'em has recently undergone an astonishing explosion in popularity, and there are literally millions of enthusiastic new players out there crying out for a book that will help them become competent and knowledgeable in the shortest possible time. So - we set out to write such a book. Quite simply, we've written the poker manual that we would have liked to have had at our fingertips when we were learning the game. Playing Poker to Win aims to tell you everything you need to know about no-limit hold'em, so that you don't have to trawl through other volumes, extracting the relevant information, throwing away the rest, and puzzling over expert tips that leave you none the wiser about the basics. We're not claiming that this is the only poker book that you'll ever need. But we believe that if you read it first, all the others will make a lot more sense. Enjoy.
