Poker Beginner to Poker Winner in 1,000 Hands – Keep Calm and Re-Buy, Volume I

Poker beginner to Poker Winner in 1,000 Hands will provide all that a beginner or advanced beginner poker player needs to go from beginner to winner.

There are separate chapters for common starting hands such as aces, big pairs, jacks, ace-king, medium pairs, suited connectors, suited aces, and small pairs.  There are also chapter about hands that appear strong but will lose you  money as a beginner.

While learning how to play these hands, the  reader will also get an over-view of play on the betting rounds, pre-flop, the flop, the turn and the river.  Concepts such as pot odds, fold equity, implied odds, stack-to-pot ratio, and commitment are discussed at length.

The reader is directed to online resources for further study as well as cautioned against poker literature that is not geared for no-limit hold-’em cash games and therefore might prove confusing instead of enlightening.

The book also introduces a default strategy for short-stacking – thirty big blind play.  This will allow the beginner to learn to play for-profit poker while minimizing losses and turning their winrate in the right direction.

Finally, there is the 1,000 Hand Challenge, a way for the beginner to put his study into practice and move relatively quickly from the lowest micro-stakes to NL10, NL25 and – after much study and play – to NL100, stakes at which poker can become a part-time income which can be earned at home with no more investment of time than online chess or Fortnight, neither of which is noted for producing online income.
