Poker teacher and game theorist, Dario De Toffili, wants you to become a more consistent player. Put the odds in your favor using De Toffili's common sense approaches and advanced concepts, including easy-to-memorize poker math. Learn to recognize and take advantage of different player types, master betting and bankroll strategies, and put your best foot forward at final table play. Beginners are welcome too--De Toffili will ensure that they don't get lost in the thicket of call, pot and all-in. Best of all, the rules, winning strategies and culture of Texas Hold 'Em (no limit and fixed) are given pride of place throughout the book.
De Toffili also covers the "soft" concepts of poker such as table etiquette, the history of the game--and there's even a section on poker in film.
Written with precision, simplicity, and humour by a leading professional player, The Big Book of Poker is the best way to fall in love with the game--and move from a being a regular loser to a confident winner.
I really enjoyed this book. It is written in a very accessible style, does not assume that the reader understands all of the "lingo" but introduces it properly and the proceeds to use it as the book progresses. The example hands from actual tournaments were exceedingly helpful to consolidate concepts and ideas. There were a few typographical errors in the text and a few author errors in the "quizzes" (where the provided answer was wrong) but they didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the book.
