About this item

I have been looking for the one poker book that contains all of the games, rules, and strategy for playing poker. Now, I've written it. The Poker Book includes how to play almost 100 variations of poker. This book covers Flop games like Hold'em, Omaha, and Pineapple. There are Stud games like Razz, Chicago, and Baseball. The Draw games Jacks or Better, Ace to Five, and Badugi are in there. There is also a section just for Guts games, including Monte Carlo, Consecutive, and Three to Five. It even has the rules for Chinese Poker. With the help of the Poker Tournament Directors' Association and Robert, The Coach, Ciaffone The Poker Book gives you the official TDA Rules and Robert's Rules of Poker. These are the two definitive authorities of poker in the world. Whether you are a novice or advanced player, the Poker Book will become your ONE source for all games of poker. I was looking for a book that would tell me all the rules and how to play the games I wanted to play. I had a terrible time trying to find such a book, so I wrote one. This is it. I'm not going to tell you about any hand I've played but how to play the hands you might be dealt. Here are the rules for almost every game of poker. I hope to give you basic strategies that will help improve your game. The more popular the game, the more information I've included. In discussing how to play, I write about hands, position and chip stacks but there is so much more to every hand. I can't go into every scenario that you will run into; there isn't a book big enough. I can give you the ability to think through your situation and improve your game. There are four main categories of poker games and I will explain them in this order, Flop, Stud, Draw and Guts. Each game can be played on a variety of structures. There's No-limit, Pot-limit, Limit, Spread Limit, Cap-Limit. I cover the differences and how they can affect your play. I also discuss Split and Mixed games.
