I've read it 3 or 4 times Probably worth reading even for the non-poker player. Zoltan Incze. Author 1 book 1 follower. The quote sums it all up. This book is worthless, the technical advice is terrible and the mindset advice is also pretty lame. If you want to beat the games and make money playing poker, avoid this book.
As noted, some players ignore this completely. They play each hand independently, regardless of how their luck is running. You see these players betting along nonchalantly, playing each hand by the book, despite being down a lot of money.
They have not retreated, despite the negative flow of events. Barbara Reich. Yes you can bring your spiritual practice to the poker tables! This book taught me how to stay in the flow whilst playing poker and not abandon who I am whilst I'm playing but bring my Self into the game and remain balanced.
Dude makes a lot of sense. Poo Man. He tells me to fold alot. I read some of the lower star reviews on here and it seems that the point if this book may be missed by some people. I started playing poker on a couple of apps. I got obsessed with the game so I bought a book on the technical aspects of poker.
I became a better player with the technical side of things, no doubt. While one day I arrived for an appointment early; I saw a used book store. You are acting when necessary, and not acting when not necessary. It's what poker players might refer to as being "in the zone". This is an overriding concept of the book. Most players can relate to this, as we have all had times where game seemed to be playing itself, and every move seemed simple and obvious.
Sometimes this is due to a great run of cards, but I find myself feeling this way even during an average run, where I do a lot of folding. After the first chapter, he introduces the structure that will continue for the rest of the book.
Each subsequent chapter covers a concept, such as "Folding" or "Betting", and begins with a short introduction about that concept.
Then he moves into rules, such as "Poker Rule 1: Learn to use inaction as a weapon. For example:. I really enjoyed this layout, as it adds a nice blend of poker and Zen concepts with explanation by the author to tie it all together. Because of the briefness of each rule, and the shortness of each chapter, the book also lends itself well to short reading sessions if you don't have the time for long periods of reading.
The concepts can be grasped in a short time, and do not require the time and concentration of a book like "Harrington on Hold'Em" for example.
The format of the book also makes it invaluable when I'm working on a particular part of my game, such as "Betting", as each chapter is devoted to one of the aspects. It is worth noting, that players who have problems with emotional control or "tilting" will find great benefit from this book. I personally had many problems with going on tilt early in my poker education, and this book helped immensely in that respect.
I recently had four-of-a-kind 3's get beaten by four-of-a-kind Kings in a cash game, and merely shrugged it off and reloaded.
