Twenty years ago, Mike Caro wrote the book on what to look for in a player's movements, gestures, and facial expressions--their "tells"--to determine if they were bluffing, and it remains one of the bestselling poker books of all time.
What Caro DIDN'T do was teach players how to bluff. Enter Matt Lessinger, a professional poker player and columnist, who in THE BOOK OF BLUFFS shows players how to get their opponents to fold--no matter how strong a hand they've been dealt. Lessinger reveals how, with the correct timing and artistry, bluffing will allow a player to win while holding an inferior hand--the very essence of poker.
Phil Gordon plays poker with the best players in the world. He has won-and lost-in tournaments and cash games around the globe, all the while studying the game and learning from every hand dealt. As the resident expert and cohost of "Celebrity Poker Showdown", Phil has quickly become one of the most sought-after teachers of No Limit Texas Hold'em. It's a tough game. But anyone can become a winning player with the right amount of courage, patience, aggression, observation and perhaps most important, dedication to becoming a better player.
After fifteen years or keeping notes on the things he's learned, the greats he's played with, and the celebrities he's taught, Phil Gordon has poured every single thin he knows about No Limit Texas Hold'em into this little green book. Taking a page from Harvey Penick's bestselling book of golf wisdom, Phil plays the role of both teacher and student, offering up insightful tips on how to think about poker and how to develop a singular style of play. Through philosophy, psychology, strategy, math and the knowledge gleaned from playing poker with everyone from T.J. Cloutier and Phil Ivey to Hank Azaria and Ben Affleck, Phil breaks down the game into enlightening instructional tidbits and illustrative anecdotes that inspire the kind of persistence and motivation necessary to improve your game.
A book to rank with Doyle Brunson's Super System and David Sklansky's The Theory of Poker; Phil Gordon's Little Green Book deserves a spot on the shelf of every serious student of the game.
Best-selling author and poker expert Ken Warren takes you from the basics of poker to the ins and outs of playing and winning at every type of game- cardrooms, casions, home games and even on the internet! Learn how to compete in local tournaments and multi-million dollar televised events, including the legendary World Series of Poker. You'll also learn how to play hold'em in all its forms, including the exciting no-limit games.
In these pages you'll find valuable information on how to bet raise, checkraise, bluff, semi-bluff and how to take advantage of position and pot odds. Warren teaches you how to read a tell and manage your bankroll. He also teaches you the lingo: this book is packed with poker slang- common and obscure- and its definitions. Whether you're a pro, a newbie, or somewhere in between, The Big Book of Poker will help you cash in on pots and hold your own against the toughest players around.
In Phil Gordon's Little Green Book, Gordon, a world-class player and teacher, shared the strategies, tips, and expertise he's gleaned during his phenomenally successful career. Now he shows players how to apply those theories to actual hands in order to make smart, confident decisions with every move.
Gordon walks readers through hands that he's encountered in cash games; early, middle, and late tournament play; Sit & Gos; satellites and supersatellites; and the final table of the World Series of Poker, revealing not only what plays he made but also why he made them. He relates what goes through a pro's mind in every situation, whether it's a timely bluff or a questionable call, and helps players calculate their own best moves in the most pressure-fueled of situations.
In analyzing specific hands, Gordon also imparts important lessons in key poker skills such as calculating odds, shorthanded play, and discovering tells. And he discusses memorable plays, the good and the oh-so-bad, explaining why certain moves were made and, in many cases, how the hands should have been played differently. Insightful, witty, and filled with real-life pro secrets, Phil Gordon's Little Blue Book is required reading for every player looking to make a profit and raise his game to the next level.
You are holding the most universally recommended publication in the history of poker, written by the game's foremost authority, Mike Caro. On these pages you will learn when your opponents are bluffing, when they aren't, and why- based solely on their mannerisms. That's the little-understood science of poker "tells".
For more than 25 years, the "Mad Genius of Poker" Mike Caro has used mathematical analysis and his own revolutionary computer programs to pioneer the powerful modern poker strategies that thousands of world-class professionals and serious players use today. But some believe his most valuable research has been in poker psychology. Caro's Book of Tells: The Body Language of Poker walks you along a path toward profit you never knew existed.
Directly from the Mike Caro University of Poker, Gaming, and Life Strategy, this manual contains over 170 photo-illustrations showing the actual tells that you can use to destroy your friends at Friday night games or take to public poker rooms to target all the chips. It's almost as if your opponents had turned their cards face up on the table!
You'll learn how to spot and understand subtle shrugs, sighs, shaking hands, misdirected bets, and much more. You'll understand humming, tapping fingers, bored stares, and every meaningful trait your poker opponents display - whether they're acting or unaware. This new millennium edition adds some play-by-play examples, new concepts, artistically rendered illustrations, and more.
