More importantly, it gives you a framework for thinking about and
analyzing verbal behavior at the poker table. The author analyzes
many real poker hands: some from televised poker shows such as the
World Series of Poker, Poker After Dark, and High Stakes Poker,
some players by the author, and some submitted by other players.

There is a lot of money to be made at small stakes no-limit hold'em
because... surprise, surprise... most of the players aren't very
good. However, few players understand exactly how to exploit these
games. Competent players who generally play larger stakes will, of
course, beat them. But they won't beat them for nearly as much as
they ought to. Why? Because they don't understand how to adjust
correctly. Playing a solid, competent, decently aggressive style is
a strategy that will be profitable. That said, you should not be
content with just beating these games - you should be absolutely
crushing them. The trick to doing this is to disregard a lot of
"correct" poker and get way out of line at the right times. The
methods required are far from obvious or intuitive but in Mastering
Small Stakes No-Limit Hold'em Jonathan Little explains them in
great detail. Jonathan constructs a basic strategy to crush small
stakes games and also identifies the adjustments that need to be
made when facing more competent opposition. You need this book
if... * You frequently play small stakes no-limit hold'em * You
usually play larger stakes but (especially live) often have to make
do with smaller stakes games * You play tournaments (such as WSOP
events) that feature numerous recreational players

Casino games and traditional card games have rich and idiosyncratic
histories, complex subcultures and player practices, and facilitate
the flow of billions of dollars each year through casinos and card
rooms, and between professional players and amateurs. They have
nevertheless been overlooked by game scholars due to the negative
ethical weight of “gambling” – with such games pathologized
and labelled as deviance or mental illness, few look beyond to
unpick the games, their players, and their communities. The Casino,
Card and Betting Game Reader offers 25 chapters studying the
communities playing these games, the distinctive cultures and
practices that have emerged around them, their activities and
beliefs and interpersonal relationships, and how these games
influence – both positively and negatively – the lives and
careers of millions of game players around the world. It is the
first of a new series of edited collections, Play Beyond the
Computer, dedicated to exploring the play of games beyond computers
and games consoles.
Teaches how to play Texas Hold 'Em Poker for beginners. This title
contains terms, definitions, etiquette and rules and shows how
poker hands are ranked. It helps you to understand your chances,
appreciate the percentages, and master the odds so that your hand
improves.
