Hold 'em Poker for Advanced Players Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Texas Hold'em is not an easy game to play well. To become an expert you need to be able to balance many concepts, some of which occasionally contradict each other.

In 1988, the first edition of this text appeared. Many ideas, which were only known to a small select group of players, were now made available to anyone who was striving to achieve expert status, and the hold'em explosion began.

It is now a new century, and the authors have again moved the state of the art forward by adding over 100 pages of new material, including an extensive section on "loose" games, and an extensive section on "short-handed" games. Anyone who studies this text, is well disciplined, and gets the proper experience should become a significant winner. Some of the other ideas discussed in this 21st Century Edition include play on the first two cards, semi-bluffing, the free card, inducing bluffs, staying with a draw, playing when a pair flops, playing trash hands, desperation bets, playing in wild games, reading hands, psychology, and much more.

Table of Contents

The first two cards — Strategic concepts — Miscellaneous topics — Playing in loose games — Playing short-handed — Playing in other non-standard games — Other skills — Questions and answers.
