Poker demands many skills and strategies. To be successful, you must be able to master all of them and then apply them at the appropriate times. They include proper hand selection, bluffing, semi-bluffing, understanding tells and telegraphs, and reading hands. These skills do not come easily since they require unnatural actions. You cannot win just by "doing what comes naturally," Dr. Schoonmaker is concerned "only with the way that psychological factors affect your own and your opponents' ability to play properly. For example, have you ever wondered why some players seem extremely aggressive while others are passive? Why some are tight and others loose? Furthermore, have you ever wondered why some tactics seem to come naturally to you while others don't? This text will answer many of these questions. It will explain why you and your opponents play the way you do. The author also suggests strategic adjustments that you should make to improve your results against different types of players, and he suggests personal adjustments that will help you to play better and enjoy the game more.

Many books have been written about Blackjack-- by far the most popular table game in casinos throughout the world-- covering its strategies, systems and rules. A largely untapped area is the game as it is played in Atlantic City.

Though this book offers information and pointers toward winning Blackjack in any of the world's casinos, whether they be in Nevada, Europe or the Islands, it is aimed primarily at the Atlantic City player. The casinos along the boardwalk play with a six deck shuffle, usually "burning" up to 10% of the cards (taking them out of play).

"Winning Blackjack in Atlantic City and Around the World" is for the beginner or intermediate player who would like to learn the game, avoid the pitfalls of miscalculation, manage money better and improve his or her calculating skills.

A classic in its field, this is the essential, all-inclusive guide to today's card games, including poker, bridge, baccarat, solitaire, and dozens of others, as well as histories and variations in the games, odds, and tips on how to detect cheating.

This is the biggest, most complete, and most authoritative book ever written on poker-everything there is to know about the Great American Game from the rules of each variation to the most expert instruction on playing the odds. Albert Morehead, author of more than 70 books on the rules and procedures of card games, has taken most of the mystery and even more of the luck out of winning-"Poker is a game of skill. If you aren't beating the game, you're being outplayed." What does count in this game is attitude, judgment, skills, and these can all be acquired.

Poker has never been more popular--and thanks to The World Poker Tour's new "lipstick cameras," which let TV viewers see the players' hands, it's one of today's fastest-growing spectator sports.

Starting with a solid explanation of the rules of Texas Hold 'Em (the pros' favorite), he quickly dispels the misconception that it's a game of luck. His 52 tips cover everything from figuring the odds to reading the other players' body language. It's an approach guaranteed to give both social players and serious competitors better results at the poker table, and TV viewers a deeper understanding of this deceptively subtle game.
