Nationwide, you can find a game in progress everywhere. If you want to play, you can find poker games on replicas of 19th century riverboats or on Native American tribal lands. You can play poker at home with the family or online with opponents from around the world. Like bowling and billiards before it, poker has moved out from under the seedier side of its roots and is flowering in the sunshine. <p> Maybe you’ve never played poker before and you don’t even know what a full house is. <i>Poker For Dummies</i> covers the basics. Or perhaps you've played for years, but you just don’t know how to win. This handy guide will help you walk away from the poker table with winnings, not lint, in your pockets. If you’re a poker expert, you still can benefit – some of the suggestions may surprise you, and you can certainly learn from the anecdotes from professional players like T.J. Cloutier and Stu Unger. <p> Know what it takes to start winning hand after hand by exploring strategy; getting to know antes and betting structure; knowing your opponents, and understanding the odds. <i>Poker For Dummies</i> also covers the following topics and more: <ul type="disc"> <li>Poker games such as Seven-Card Stud, Omaha, and Texas Hold'em <li>Setting up a game at home <li>Playing in a casino: Do's and don'ts <li>Improving your play with Internet and video poker <li>Deciphering poker sayings and slang <li>Ten ways to read your opponent's body language <li>Playing in poker tournaments <li>Money management and recordkeeping <li>Knowing when and how to bluff </ul> <p> Poker looks like such a simple game. Anyone, it seems, can play it well – but that's far from the truth. Learning the rules can be quick work, but becoming a winning player takes considerably longer. Still, anyone willing to make the effort can become a good player. You can succeed in poker the way you succeed in life: by facing it squarely, getting up earlier than the next person, and working harder and smarter than the competition. <p> Foreword by Chris Moneymaker, 2003 World Series of Poker Champion.2280082442000Poker for Dummiestotal:27|5:5|4:7|3:10|2:5|1:0|279349250falsefalseWed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003Tue Mar 17 16:10:56 -0700 2009Tue Mar 17 16:12:35 -0700 200940falsefalseMon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007Mon Feb 04 23:06:19 -0800 2008Mon Feb 04 23:07:06 -0800 200800falsefalseSun Nov 15 05:53:49 -0800 2009Sun Nov 15 05:53:49 -0800 200950falsefalseMon Nov 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009Wed Nov 04 16:19:55 -0800 2009Wed Nov 04 16:20:14 -0800 200900falsefalseSun Oct 11 08:34:47 -0700 2009Sun Oct 11 08:34:47 -0700 200950falsefalseMon Oct 05 16:30:08 -0700 2009Mon Oct 05 16:30:08 -0700 200950falsefalseMon Nov 16 05:57:17 -0800 2009Sat Oct 03 06:57:05 -0700 2009Sat Oct 03 06:57:07 -0700 200900falsefalseSun Sep 13 09:39:59 -0700 2009Sun Sep 13 09:39:59 -0700 200900falsefalseThu Aug 20 23:29:10 -0700 2009Thu Aug 20 23:29:10 -0700 200920falsefalseSun Jul 26 22:18:24 -0700 2009Sun Jul 26 22:18:24 -0700 200940falsefalseThu Jul 23 19:08:30 -0700 2009Thu Jul 23 19:08:30 -0700 200900truefalseSat Jul 18 09:21:20 -0700 2009Sat Jul 18 10:01:41 -0700 200900falsefalseSat Jun 20 10:51:55 -0700 2009Sat Jun 20 10:51:55 -0700 200920falsefalseTue Jun 16 22:10:52 -0700 2009Tue Jun 16 22:10:59 -0700 200930falsefalseSun Jun 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009Mon Jun 01 15:45:29 -0700 2009Mon Jun 15 20:18:32 -0700 200900falsefalseMon Apr 27 21:32:20 -0700 2009Mon Apr 27 21:32:20 -0700 200900falsefalseWed Apr 22 15:20:58 -0700 2009Wed Apr 22 15:20:58 -0700 200920falsefalseThu Mar 26 18:17:26 -0700 2009Thu Mar 26 18:17:26 -0700 200930falsefalseSat Mar 14 22:32:10 -0700 2009Sat Mar 14 22:32:10 -0700 200900falsefalseMon Feb 23 07:38:45 -0800 2009Mon Feb 23 07:38:45 -0800 2009
