Mastering Small Stakes Cash Games is a book where the key word is
"mastering". The author, Evan Jarvis, is a professional poker
player and highly respected poker coach. He takes a slightly
different approach to that used by most poker coaches. The absolute
fundamental, as always, is to help players master cash game play
but Jarvis takes a holistic approach, recognising that being able
to master people and master yourself are equally important in order
to achieve poker success. In order to succeed in cash play it is
essential to have a rock solid pre-flop and post-flop game-plan.
However, there are other factors to successful play (e.g. game
selection, seat selection, buy-in level etc.) that are often
neglected. These can be equally important and are all addressed. Do
you want to... * Make a good side income from your hobby?* Feel
confident and in control when you play?* Be satisfied with your
performance at the end of every session, regardless of the outcome?
Mastering Small Stakes Cash Games will help you achieve these aims
and much more besides.

where even very experienced players behave in predictable ways.
