Hey. Congratulations on getting your hands on this Tournament Tactics report.

What you're about to discover are the HIDDEN STRATEGIES and principles behind successful tournament play. I'm ONLY going to cover the important, prolevel techniques.

Poker math made easy

Author: Roy Rounder

Poker math is NOT rocket science.

The basics of calculating poker odds are actually quite simple... and only require knowledge of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. If you made it past the 5th grade, you can learn to figure "pot odds" in no time.

I've done my best to explain the basics of odds calculations for the game of no limit Texas Holdem. Use this information as another tool in your toolbox... in conjunction with the many other strategies and secrets you learned in my book.

Advanced Texas Hold'em

Author: David Stam

I would say that being an aggressive and tight player, that is, someone who plays good starting cards and notices the different opportunities to play mediocre starting hands such as suited connectors; and furthermore, knows when they are in the lead during a hand and makes other players pay for having the second best hand. In small stake games there are many players who do not know what this means. They have read what it means but they ignore it or they have never experienced it.

Harrington on hold'em Volume I: Strategic Play

Author: Dan Harrington

In the bookstores, there are many, many poker books, all teaching you how to play — limit hold'em. There are hardly any books on the new rage these days — no-limit hold'em tournaments. This is understandable if you consider the history of hold'em. For many years there were just a few high-stakes no-limit hold'em tournaments every year. Almost all the hold'em action was in casino card rooms, where they spread limit hold'em games at varying limits. If you were a newcomer to the game, small-stakes limit hold'em was where you started.

But now that's all changed, and many newcomers are starting with various kinds of small-stake no-limit hold'em games and tournaments. So the need for a book dealing directly with this very exciting and very complex form of poker is pretty clear. Harrington on hold'em: Expert Strategy for No-Limit Tournaments, Volume I: Strategic Play is that book.

The Eight Mistakes in Poker

Author: David Sklansky

What makes one person a winning poker player and a second person a losing one? Assuming they both play in equally tough games, the obvious answer is that the winning player plays better. What does it mean to play better? This question can be answered in many ways, but it all boils down to one thing: the better player makes the correct play more often in a particular situation. In other words, he makes fewer major mistakes.

Finding Robust Texas Holdem Strategies

Author: Jason Noble

When using machine learning techniques to find a good strategy in a game, we normally hope to find one that performs well against a wide variety of opponents. Coevolutionary algorithms in which each player competes against other players from the same or a sister population are an appealing method of automatically providing the required variety in opposing strategies. Indeed, when coevolutionary algorithms work.

The Education of a Poker Player

Author: Herbert O. Yardley

Poker looks like gambling — and at a low level of skill is gambling ;— because it must be played for money. The chips are as much instruments of the game as the cards. The way you bet or check or raise tells the other players about the nature of the cards you purport to hold.

The steps that a Hold'em player takes to learn the game resembles the process of human evolution. Players must master the previous steps in order to develop to the next step.

Internet Texas Hold'em

Author: Matthew Hilger

"If you can't spot the sucker in your first half-hour at the table, then you are the sucker." This is a common poker saying spoken by Matt Damon in the classic poker movie Rounders. I used to play in a tournament every Sunday night in Costa Rica with some of the best players in the world. Unfortunately, I had no idea at the time who those players were. Hopefully this book will help you spot the sucker rather than be the sucker.

It takes a lot of experience and study of the game before one realizes what it takes to play at an advanced level. Everyone needs to start somewhere. This book should increase your learning curve, but there is no substitute for experience. The Internet is an excellent vehicle to develop your game, no matter if you just play low limits a few hours a week or strive to develop into a world-class player. The following story gives you a glimpse into my poker life and the struggles I went through before I started playing on the Internet.

Insiders Secrets To Texas Hold'em Poker Online

Author: Theo Cage

Everybody we have talked to about Texas Hold'em has said that what they really want is more than just a book that tells them the rules to the game. They want something new. Something fresh that will give them an edge over the other players. Something exciting.

So we talked to the insiders. How does the system work? How are the cards shuffled (what's the randomizing algorithm)? Has anyone done any studies on what cards really pay the best? What tables play the best? Are there systems that work online better than others? What do the insiders know about cards to play? Can we really make money at this game?

From this feedback we develop this book concept. Then we hunted down the facts. In the end, this has been a lot of fun and quite profitable. We love the game of Texas Hold'em but now we have the tools to win more games. As usual, if you have the insider 'stuff', you are better armed to succeed. Pretty much one of those simple rules to live your life by if you ask me.

He demonstrates how to play against a mouse (a timid player), a jackal (a crazy player), and an elephant (a player who always calls).

The Theory of Poker (A product of Two Plus Two Publishing)

Author: David Sklansky

This book is about the general theories and concepts of poker play, which are operative in nearly every variation of poker from five-card draw to Texas hold'em. It is not a how-to book in the sense of providing the basic rules and a step-by-step procedure for playing the various games. Beginning poker players sometimes ask, "What do you do in this particular situation?" There is really no correct answer to that question because it's the wrong question. Rules of thumb that say to fold one hand, call with another, and raise with yet another simply won't get a poker player beyond the beginning stages.

The right question is: "What do you consider in this particular situation before determining what to do?" The Theory of Poker addresses itself to such considerations. It analyzes every aspect of a poker hand from the ante structure to play after the last card has been dealt. By explaining the logic of poker, the book will, I hope, show the reader what kinds of things to think about in order to become a better player.

Winning Secrets of Online Poker

Authors: Douglas W. Frye, Curtis D. Frye

Our goal is to show you how to be a better poker player, regardless of how you want to play the game. If you only want to play good cards and never take any risks, you can play that way. If you want to be a wild man who always stays in for the last card in a hand, where you only have a 5 percent chance of winning, you can play that way. For that matter, you can write out a list of strategies and tactics, and then roll dice to determine your next action. We don't care what you do, as long as you don't throw away a winning hand after the last bets are down. That would break our hearts.

Championship No-Limit & Pot-Limit Hold'em

Authors: T.J. Cloutier, Tom McEvoy

Championship No-Limit and Pot-Limit Hold'em is our way of giving something back to the world of poker, a world that has given both of us so much pleasure, excitement, and income over the past 20 years. We also believe that this book will help to build the ranks of pot-limit and no-limit hold'em players. These are exciting poker games, games filled with intrigue, games that require more than the average amount of skill. But some players are afraid to try playing them. They don't know how, or they may be scared of the big-bet aspect of them, or maybe even of the "big" players that they think they might have to compete against in tournaments. If you have wanted to try playing pot-limit and no-limit hold'em but have been reluctant to play them for any of these reasons, throw your reservations out the window and dig into Championship No-Limit and Pot-Limit Hold'em because we wrote this book for you.

Body language

Author: Allan Pease

In writing this book, I have summarised many of the studies by the leading behavioural scientists and have combined them with similar research done by people in other professions — sociology, anthropology, zoology, education, psychiatry, family counseling, professional negotiating and selling.

The book also includes many 'how to' features developed from the countless reels of videotape and film made by myself and others throughout Australasia and overseas, plus some of the experiences and encounters that I have had with the thousands of people that I have interviewed, recruited, trained, managed and sold to over the past fifteen years.

This book is by no means the last word on body language, nor does it contain any of the magic formulae promised by some of the books in the bookstores. Its purpose is to make the reader more aware of his own nonverbal cues and signals and to demonstrate how people communicate with each other using this medium.

This book isolates and examines each component of body language and gesture, though few gestures are made in isolation from others; I have at the same time tried to avoid oversimplifying. Non-verbal communication is, however, a complex process involving people, words, tone of voice and body movements.
