The intent of Winning Blue-Collar Hold'em is not to put you at the final table at the WSOP or WPT. Instead, the intention of the author is to improve the play of the average low-limit/low buy-in Texas Hold'em player. Televised tournament final tables or high-stakes games distort the way average players approach the game. On TV you see only 10% of the action. The successful bluff or an improbable two out all-in is exciting, and thus will make the program, while you rarely see the player making the solid play, except when they lose to the two-outer. The other aspect players viewing televised poker fail to understand is that the style of play seen at the final table is not the same style of play that it takes to make the final table. This book takes you beyond the "What" of poker and provides you with the "How" and "Why" you need to become a winning low-stakes player. The use of poker aphorisms (pokerisms) throughout the book separates it from all of the other books on the market.
