The Numbers Game is a new game concept that resembles the memory
game play but with some interesting differences, which makes the
game more exciting and flexible. The Numbers Game consists of four
sets of 20 cards. Each set has a set of numbers running from 1 to
20. The goal of the game is to collect one set of 20 cards.
However, the cards may only be added to your collection in
ascending order, if you first pick a number-1 card, or in
descending order, if you first pick a number-20 card. The player
who first completes a full 1-20 row wins the game. The numbers on
the cards have been photographed on the streets of cities around
the world, from house numbers to traffic signs and commercial
signage. Paul Baarss sharp eye for graphic candor resulted in a
collection of thousands of street graphics depicting numbers. For
this game, he selected 80 striking numbers in surprising settings
from his large collection.

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.
