Many poker players can make good decisions at the table with a
reasonable frequency. Nevertheless, there are numerous situations
where even very experienced players behave in predictable ways.
These deeply-ingrained habits lead them to make mistakes. The
problem is that these situations won't often arise at the table by
chance - you have to make them happen. Exploitative Play in Live
Poker is a ground-breaking work that teaches you how to create the
circumstances where your opponents will be likely to blunder and
how to exploit them when they do. ----- To achieve this you will
need to put to one side starting hand charts, balance and GTO (Game
Theory Optimal) play. Instead you will incorporate new concepts
that may well place you outside your comfort zone. However, your
style will now be forcing the other players at the table outside of
their comfort zone and, unlike you, they won't know how to adapt.
----- Learn how to: --- * Counter the auto-continuation-bettor ---
*Develop a powerful donk-betting strategy --- * Use the overbet,
the check-raise and the three-barrel effectively ----- As well as
being a highly successful player, Alex Fitzgerald runs a poker
consultancy that serves more than 1,000 professional poker players
in 60 countries. As part of this work, he has very likely trawled
through more hand history databases than anyone else. This gives
him a unique insight into how players really play, especially when
placed under pressure and forced into unfamiliar situations.
Create powerful images while learning the basic principles in
photography. My Photography Toolbox will guide the players on how
to take stylish photographs. Each card will coach you on the
secrets of visual language and will enhance your creativity. This
game is perfect for all those who take pictures regularly and would
love to improve their skills. It displays 30 visual principles and
enables you to play with tools that smartphones or digital cameras
don't provide, such as the psychology of forms. Because photography
is everywhere, this is a must-have game for its style, easy rules,
valuable rewards and ludo-didactic features that allow you to learn
while playing in teams or individually. The box includes two games.
1. BE A MASTER: to create an image based on a photography genre and
four given rules. 2. REFINE YOUR EYE: to discover the rules in
existing photographs. Each has a different goal: make a powerful
photograph in less than 20 minutes, or discover the rules of
photography connecting images and concepts.
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.

include World Series of Poker bracelet winners, World Poker Tour
champions, online poker wizards and some of the best cash game

Mike Sexton began playing poker at the age of 13 and became a
full-time professional player in 1977. He moved from North Carolina
to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1985 and won his first World Series of
Poker bracelet in 1989. In his four decades as a poker professional
Mike excelled as a poker player, poker businessman and was one of
poker's premiere ambassadors for 25 years. He was instrumental in
the creation of partypoker in 2001 and was a key player in the
launch of the World Poker Tour in 2002, an event that changed the
world of poker forever. Mike can be credited with the creation of
two mega events in the poker world: the Tournament of Champions of
Poker in 1999 and the partypoker Million in 2002. Along with Vince
van Patten, he was a commentator on the WPT from its inception.
Mike was recognized as Poker's Top Ambassador at the Card Player
Magazine Player of the Year Awards gala in 2006. That same year, he
won the World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions, collecting
$1 million in prize money - half of which he donated to charity. In
2009, he was thrilled to receive poker's greatest honor - induction
into the Poker Hall of Fame. And, if that weren't enough, in 2016
he was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the
American Poker Awards. In this book Mike recounts his personal
experiences and gives his take on some of poker's legendary
characters over the past 40 years. If you enjoy poker, are
fascinated by the development of the game and enjoy compelling
poker, golf and gambling adventures, then you'll love Life's A
Gamble.

Poker is a centuries-old American game. Why has it become so
popular in the twenty-first century? What does current interest in
the game tell us about ourselves and some of our most pressing
social issues? In this timely and thought-provoking book, Andrew
Manno offers important insights into the intersection of gaming,
gender, and capitalism that illuminate how the shift to a casino
capitalist economy-combined with a culture of toxic
masculinity-impacts workers and how it has led to the rise of
populism in the United States that manifested in the 2016 election
of Donald Trump.
