HoldEm Poker for Advanced Players Reviews David attributes his standing in the gambling community to three things: 1. One thing I've noticed after reading many poker books by David Sklansky, is that they all follow the same basic outline. Sklansky, David ; Malmuth, Mason. A good mid-range book as far as methods of play goes. I wouldn't recommend it to casual players. In addition, if you call on the flop and intend to also call on fourth street, keep in mind that the pot odds you are getting are not as good as they appear. Need another excuse to treat yourself to a new book this week? It is now a new century, and the authors have again moved the state of the art forward by adding over pages of new material, including an extensive section on "loose games," and an extensive section on "short-handed games. Both writers are at the top of their field. Seller Rating:. Also, remember that calling is sometimes the worst play. Yup, so were a lot of other guys. After arriving in California he discovered that poker was legal and began playing in some of the public cardrooms as well as taking periodic trips to Las Vegas where he would play both poker and blackjack. Sklansky is an expert. If he could not answer some of the questions, he can go back and study the book until he has mastered its contents. Dry and at times very boring. This is great because it's such a good resource of information, but bad because it needs to be read like an encyclopedia. Enlarge cover. If the pot is large and you are going to play, it is generally correct to raise with these types of hands. Refresh and try again.

  • Small Stakes Hold 'Em Winning Big with Expert Play by ED MILLER, DAVID SKLANSKY, and MASON MALMUTH
    1 Small Stakes Hold 'em Winning Big with Expert Play By ED MILLER, DAVID SKLANSKY, and MASON MALMUTH A product of Two Plus Two Publishing FIRST EDITION SECOND PRINTING JANUARY 2005 Printing and Binding Creel Printers, Inc. Lbs Vegas, Nevada Printed in the United States of America 2 Ed Miller Devid Skalansky Mason Malmuth For today's poker players, Texas hold 'em is the game. Every day, tens of thousands of small stakes hold 'em games are played all over the world in homes, card rooms, and on the Internet. These games can be very profitable-if you play well. But most people don't play well and end up leaving their money on the table. Small Stakes Hold 'em: Winning Big with Expert Play explains everything you need to be a big winner. Unlike many other books about small stakes games, it teaches the aggressive and attacking style used by all professional players. However, it does not simply tell you to play aggressively; it shows you exactly how to make expert decisions through numerous clear and detailed examples. Small Stakes Hold 'em teaches you to think like a professional player. Topics include implied odds, pot equity, speculative hands, position, the importance of being suited, hand categories, counting outs, evaluating the flop, large pots versus small pots, protecting your hand, betting for value on the river, and playing overcards. In addition, after you learn the winning concepts, test your skills with over fifty hand quizzes that present you with common and critical hold 'em decisions. Choose your action, then compare it to the authors' play and reasoning.

  • An Investigation Into Tournament Poker Strategy Using Evolutionary Algorithms
    An Investigation into Tournament Poker Strategy using Evolutionary Algorithms Richard G. Carter I V N E R U S E I T H Y T O H F G E R D I N B U Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Intelligent Systems and their Applications School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2007 Abstract Poker has become the subject of an increasing amount of study in the computational in- telligence community. The element of imperfect information presents new and greater challenges than those previously posed by games such as checkers and chess. Ad- vances in computer poker have great potential, since reasoning under conditions of uncertainty is typical of many real world problems. To date the focus of computer poker research has centred on the development of ring game players for limit Texas hold’em. For a computer to compete in the most prestigious poker events, however, it will be required to play in a tournament setting with a no-limit betting structure. This thesis is the first academic attempt to investigate the underlying dynamics of successful no-limit tournament poker play. Professional players have proffered advice in the non-academic poker literature on correct strategies for tournament poker play. This study seeks to empirically validate their suggestions on a simplified no-limit Texas hold’em tournament framework. Starting by using exhaustive simulations, we first assess the hypothesis that a strat- egy including information related to game-specific factors performs better than one founded on hand strength knowledge alone. Specifically, we demonstrate that the use of information pertaining to one’s seating position, the opponents’ prior actions, the stage of the tournament, and one’s chip stack size all contribute towards a statistically significant improvement in the number of tournaments won.

  • Wsop 2003 –
    End of Day Two – This is when it all gets good. – WSOP 2003 – Well, well. They fell like flies on Day 2 of the World Series of Poker, slashing the field down from 384 players to 111 big hearts with their eyes on the prize. Actually, there are only some of them with their eyes on the prize. A good chunk of the 111 players left in this tournament are lying in bed as I write, eyes wide open and tossing and turning, with the same two thoughts going over and over in their heads. The first thought, „Why can’t I get to sleep?“ And the second thought, „I just want to hold on for fifty more places, get dealt an ace-queen and be allowed to go home.“ Because in your wildest dreams, you could never imagine how lonely it must be to be lying awake in bed with a whole stack of chips after Day 2 of the World Series of Poker. That is why, with all due respect to those who have had fun so far, those players that found their nerve to come over the top with no hand when their instincts told them the play was proper, the guys who said to themselves after winning a monster pot on Day 2, „How hard can this be?“, all those fellows are just beginning to experience what’s special about a five day tournament. It’s not just five days of poker. It’s a 120 hour dream that you can’t wake up from, something that started as a barrel of laughs until the walls began to move, when the smile on your neighbor’s face starts haunting you like a white faced clown, cackling over and over in your brain when he moved in on you for all your stack and you started trembling with the two queens.
