Download or read book Aces and Eights written by Ralph Estes and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our images of the big names and places of the Old West often come from the tales of gunfights and violence that were sensationalized by dime novels and yellow journalism in the 19th century and the myths that came from those stories live on today. But in reality many of these fabled characters of the Wild West were gamblers first and gunfighters second— more invested in poker than in the momentary fury of the shootout. Aces and Eights tells story of the role of poker in the lives of these legends, and offers a portrait of the places where they lived and frequently died. This book offers both the “facts” of these lives and the true tales of the game and the gamblers—and the entertaining “tall tales” that have survived to this day.

Download or read book Poker Tournament Strategies written by Sylvester Suzuki and published by Two Plus Two Publishing LLC. This book was released on 1998 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poker tournaments are very different from conventional poker games for many reasons. The most important ones are: The chips change value because most tournaments are "percentage payback." Rebuys are available early on. And, many players over adjust their playing strategy because they are aware that after the rebuy period you cannot purchase more chips. Consequently, you should make many strategy changes. Sometimes you should be trying to accumulate chips, sometimes you should be on the attack, and sometimes you should just survive. Even though Sylvester Suzuki is a pseudonym, he is a real person who understands the underlying theories that govern tournament play. This text should prove helpful to anyone who is new to this form of poker.
