This short, quick reference, Texas Hold'em Poker Guide is a must own for all poker players in my opinion. Nowadays Texas Hold'em is a household name and the king of the local poker rooms. Playing cards these days isn't just about having fun at the table, but knowing your odds, probabilities, and tells. This book will hopefully advance your game and serve as a quick reference guide to you in the future. Even though Poker is considered a "game of skill," just remember there's still a lot of "gambling" involved as well. So just remain calm when that Donkey "sucks out" on you. It's not the end of the world, and it will not be the last time this happens to you, because "that's poker."
Self-made poker millionaires Tom "kingsofcards" Marchese and Tri
"SlowHabit" Nguyen will show you how to crush the regulars at your
table with The NL Workbook.

blended happily with big pots of delicious food and endless gossip.
As kids, she and her cousins bet on everything?from which of their
Weight Watching mothers would lose the most to who could hold their
breath longest underwater or eat the most matzo. But once Frankel
left for college and later became a successful entertainment
journalist, gambling didn't factor much into her life. She thought
her family legacy had passed her by.
My friend Mr. Lucky journeyed around the world and through the tunnels of time learning countless poker variations from many fascinating characters. He learned Spit in the Ocean on a freighter in World War II, and Stalin taught him Ruin Your Neighbor in the depths of the Kremlin. Did I mention that Lucky is a tough teddy bear from Bayonne? I predict you'll love Nostradamus, where a player who guesses the suit of his neighbor's next card takes it from him, and Share Your Hole, where each player picks one of his hole cards to be a mutual card. Then there's Myron, where the pot has a hand, and Yanqui Baseball, where the last hall of fame number to show up is wild. Mr. Lucky tells lots of funny stories--like how Darwin taught him Man or Mouse, Caligula taught him Butcher Boy, and his hero Babe Ruth taught him about Baseball and life. This book is for people who play poker for fun It's a bible for poker moms and required reading for college kids. It's already a cult classic OK, so it's a small cult.

A big part of poker's appeal is that, at its essence, the rules are same everywhere. For the most part, you play with a deck of fifty-two cards, four suits, and thirteen ranks. The best five card hand takes the money. There are only five combinations of actions: check, bet, call, raise, and fold. The purpose of this book is to provide a uniform set of rules for the most popular poker games spread in public cardrooms. Some rules apply to all games. Some apply to particular games. In deciding upon which rules to use, the rulebooks of nearly every major cardroom in the country have been consulted. Where rules differ, the authors have given preference to the rule that best serves the interest of fairness in the game. While some players and cardroom managers may not agree with all the rules included, it is hoped that the comprehensiveness of Cooke's Rules of Real Poker will result in it being used as a standard in cardrooms across the country.

Review by George C. (author, mathematician, blackjack guru) This book is an enticing and simplified methodology that squeezes every last drop from the KO count. A beginner shouldn't have any problems taking the original KO count and by using the color coded "cool, hot and warm" concepts shown by Daniel to optimize their play. You'll be playing professionally just after reading and applying the concepts that Daniel shows in the first four chapters of the book. I simulated Daniel's betting and playing methodology using both the original KO and his simplifications. The improvement in SCORE was almost 4%. Bottom line is this is a simplification of an already simple system that works well. I've known Daniel for quite some time now and he not only talks the talk but walks the walk. He's made quite a nice haul over the last few years and it's outlined in the book. I highly recommend this book not only for new users but hard-core KO users will find it of interest also.
