Anyone who studies this text, is well disciplined, and gets the proper experience should become a significant winner.

Download or read book Further Limit Hold em written by Philip Newall and published by Two Plus Two Pub. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 381 pages.

Book excerpt: Limit hold em, while currently not as popular as no-limit hold em, is an extremely interesting game from a theoretical standpoint: The rules are complex enough to allow constant intrigue, yet simple enough to allow computer bots to play the game on an extremely high level.

This book approaches limit hold em in a rigorous way: using game theory, statistical analysis, and a focus on posing new questions that can produce additional value to your game. Some of the conclusions are provocative and counter-intuitive; providing new ideas for any poker player. While targeted to the dedicated professionals, Further Limit Hold em is accessible to players of all levels, including someone just started in poker.

Download or read book Tournament Poker for Advanced Players written by David Sklansky and published by Two Plus Two Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2007 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tournament poker is very different from standard ring game poker. While they might appear the same from a distance, there are many differences in proper strategy that are often unknown to many experienced cash game players. Some people excel at tournament poker. This is not luck. These are players who have an advanced understanding of what the proper strategy adjustments are, and when they come into play. It is no coincidence that the same competitors make it to final tables far more than their fair share. This book explains tournament strategies that only a small number of players have mastered. It assumes you already know how to play poker well, but aren't knowledgeable of tournament-specific concepts and when and where to use them. Some of the ideas discussed include: the effect of going broke, the Gap Concept, how chips change value, adjusting strategy to rising stakes, all-in strategy, final table play, making deals, the "System," focusing on weaker opponents, unusual plays with aces and kings, moving in against the blind, and much more. This newly-expanded version contains over 100 new pages of updated material dedicated almost entirely to today's most popular form of tournament poker: no-limit hold 'em.
