Poker

Nowadays, many excellent poker books are available for players keen to improve their game. However, the vast majority are aimed at readers who are already sophisticated in their understanding of poker.

This book is different. Improve Your Poker - Now! is aimed at players who love poker and have moved beyond the introductory level, but who may be flummoxed by terms like GTO, ICM, merged ranges, and blocker effects. These players want a clear, straightforward guide that improves their game - now!

The authors, Topher Goggin and leading coach Alexander Fitzgerald, understand these needs and have crafted a book that is perfect for such players. There are no complex hand range charts to master, solvers are conspicuous only from their absence, and the advice is given in terms that are easy to understand. This practical guide is everything you need to succeed now, without everything else you don't.
* Clear, concise language and straightforward instruction.
* Easy-to-implement strategies.
* Simple explanation of fundamental principles.

Unlike elite players, who must study tirelessly to make even tiny improvements to their game, players at the ""serious amateur"" level can make tremendous advances with far less effort. This book will help you to do precisely that.
