From the publisher:
Texas Hold ’em is not an easy game to
play well. To become an expert you must balance
many concepts, some of which occasionally
contradict each other. In 1988, the first
edition appeared. Many ideas, which were only
known to a small, select group of players,
were made available to anyone who was striving
to become an expert, and the hold ’em
explosion had begun. 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 extensive sections
on "loose games," and "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 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, and psychology.
Independent Expert Reviews
Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players is one
of the classics of the poker literature. This
book is extremely well written, and it's hard
for me to believe that many players are likely
to master today's games without having read
and studied this text. Further, the 21st Century
Edition is, in my opinion, enough of an improvement
over the first edition that those who have
already read the 1988 version should buy and
read the new edition as well. (Nick Christenson)
There are many ways to become an expert hold
'em player, and although no book alone will
do the trick, I feel that this book will give
most people a head-start. It's dense with
information and ideas, and you will need to
read and re-read, to get the most out of it.
The level of play taught in this book is sophisticated
and complicated, but the difficulty lies in
gaining true understanding, not in reading
it. The flow of the text is colloquial and
easy-to-manage, to the verge of deceiptful,
because reading it like a story will make
you miss out a lot of pearls.(Cardschat.com)
Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players is one
of the best books for experienced hold'em
players looking to bring their game up to
the next level. It’s a wealth of excellent
information that should never be overlooked.
I'd recommend it to experienced players looking
to improve their skills.(tightpoker.com) |
