Poker

Poker teacher and game theorist Dario De Toffoli wants you to become a more consistent player. Put the odds in your favour using De Toffoli’s common-sense approaches and advanced concepts, including easy-to-memorize poker mathematics. Learn to recognize and take advantage of different player types, master betting and bankroll strategies, and put your best foot forward at final table play. Beginners are welcome too – De Toffoli will ensure that they don’t get lost in the thicket of call, pot and all in. Best of all, the rules, winning strategies and culture of Texas Hold’Em (no limit and fixed) are given pride of place throughout the book.

De Toffoli also covers the “soft” concepts of poker, such as table etiquette, the history of the game – and there’s even a section on poker in cinema.

Written with precision, simplicity and humour by a leading professional player, The Big Book of Poker is the best way to fall in love with the game – and move from a being a regular loser to a confident winner.

Reviews for The Big Book of Poker: Texas Hold'Em and All the Rest: In-Depth Knowledge for Winning

'To this day poker maintains a mystique that separates it from other games. De Toffoli suggests that it may be because poker is the game that best represents real-life competitions. In this 282-page tome, he tells us everything we need to know about the game and how to play it at all levels. Beginnning with the history of poker, he covers everything from dress codes to fitness to mathematical expectation to playing a tournament. The book contains simple diagrams and charts throughout to make the material visually understandable. This seems like a millenial trend waiting to happen.' - Retailing Insight
