This video will probably just be interesting to poker players. Dan Harrington is perhaps the best author on Poker out there. His cash game books will probably be great resources, and his tournament book is invaluable. Sklansky is good, particularly for limit books. Card Player must be retrieved from casinos for free, do not pay for it! Most importantly to know though is that many people (most) shouldn’t be playing poker and do anyway. Read “Your Worst Poker Enemy” by Alan Schoonmaker if the game is bothering you. It will help you make rational decisions concerning poker on many levels, including whether it is wise to continue playing. This book saved me a lot of money, and it can help you control your emotions. Don’t take advice from a losing player unless you are one, and if you are, listen closely: Consider quitting! I accidentally left out Super Systems. I found the book to be interesting and vital if you are into the history of poker, but not very strategically important. You’d better read it if you are serious about the game, to understand fast players like Brunson, but it isn’t a very good book for beginners.

pokerpower.com.au Poker Power spoke with Gus Hansen at the Crown Aussie Millions Championship 2010. We asked him about his book, Every Hand Revealed and how it stacks up with Doyle Brunsons Super Systems and Dan Harringtons Strategy Books. Great comparisons to help you improve your poker skills and become a better poker player.

why does he look at it as all or nothing. if he has the money and looks to have fun play low stakes at win or lose. poker still is a game meant for fun. not a job as many people nowadays look at it

I sometimes play poker at my house with about 9 other people every thursday, what would be a good book to read to better my skills? would that be considered a sit and go?

u can read all the books u want… but if u aint got instinct u should stay away from the game ! instinct i.e cold reading.. is not something u can learn its just something 1 in 10 people may have ,, hence the 90% losers lol..if u can see through walls,then maths is idiotic.. robin hood once said .. remember that and to u variablast.. i hope u find something in life ur good at ! peace

Hello, do you realize that if its true that 90% of the players at the table are ‘losing players’, that makes the odds pretty darn good of making a lot of money if you are any good. I think that’s pretty encouraging. I always thought that most of the people at the table, especially in some areas are real solid hard core players that are very good.

1 player in 2 rounds that is..pushing when your slightly behing and pulling when your slightly ahead is a good strategy……this guy is a losing player liker 90% of poker player…….like most business it will fail in the first year…….but that doesnt mean it ist worth finicaily pursuing if you have a high IQ and the desire to win alongside the will to learn.

the top pros have gone broken dovens of times its the swings of no limit. if ascess the mathematics you will win.

how many players will have 2 court cards at a full table…….1 in 2 rounds..this means opening with a 2 cards is correct.

some people got it, most dont! like everything in life. if u cant handle it emotionally then its time to give it up or have a good long break atleast. personaly i love the game too much. i lose some but i win a little more. been playing for 4 years. the more u play the more u start to gamble. the second u see yourself gambling its time to have a break and look at the game more objectively. gl all

I had a friend that played as well and we would talk about hand after hand, situation after situation for hours. He studied the books and I learned vicariously through him. After he moved I realized that I didn’t have the motivation to keep it up on my own. I still play online at small stakes tournies but I view it as entertainment now.

The book isn’t actually intended to get people not to play. It is supposed to get people to play reasonably and without emotional or superstitious interference. Still I found after reading it, like you, that playing itself was the emotional and unreasonable action that I was making.

“Your Worst Poker Enemy” is one of the reasons I quit playing. It really takes time and effort to get good and you have to constantly work at it. I didn’t have the drive.
