How to Get the Unfair Winning Edge in Any Tournament. The Secret Strategies of Poker MEGA Stars Revealed! (The Blokehead Success Series)

By: The Blokehead

Narrated by: Sabrina Z

Poker may be perceived as "easy money" since it appears to rely solely on two factors: luck and bluffing skills. However, what most people don't know is that success in poker lies less on chance and more on strategy.

First off, in a fair game, players have no control whatsoever on what cards they would be dealt. There is an element of risk. Second, each participant has to make do with what they have. This necessitates the use of complicated tactics and proper management skills. Lastly, this is when the actual game begins: the art of manipulation. It requires meticulous attention to every detail - from the bet size to the table image of the opponent. Basic as they are, veterans utilize these skills to ensure victory. It takes a fair grasp of the game to master all these.

Basic strategy

I was unimpressed by this basic strategy book. It seemed like the reader didn't know much about the game based upon her saying "a-k, a-q, a-j....." instead of Ace King, Ace Queen, Ace Jack...

I try to pick up at least a few ideas from every book, yet can't state a single thing learned from this one.

Basic Fundamentals

Good for a beginner, if need a kick-start with the basics this is a good start.

Concise, solid poker tips. Pleasant narration.

I learned, and was reminded of, some great poker strategy in this short read.

What did you like best about this story?

Short and sweet. Good to hear a female narrator on this subject--nice voice.

Easy to listen to in one sitting; or listen to particular sections for motivation going into a game.
