Who is this for
Players of all abilities should benefit from this book, whether you are a complete beginner desperate to lose less money or a professional earning six figures per year through poker.
New players will gain knowledge and skills that most players have to learn the hard way. We outline some of the harsh realities of poker and give advice on how to deal with them.
Intermediate players will discover what may have been holding them back at the poker table, maybe allowing them to progress from a losing or breakeven player into a winning one.
Advanced players will learn how to overcome some of the boundaries that have been limiting their earn rate. At the top levels of poker, most players have a solid grasp of the technical aspects of play. It is the players who are best able to master the human element of the game that will prosper.
You may notice a bias toward Hold'em over other forms of poker in the examples in this book. The reason for this is that Hold'em is currently the most popular form of poker and the game that most readers will readily understand. However, the concepts in this book apply equally to Stud, Omaha, or any other variant of poker. We simply use Hold'em hand examples to ensure that as many people as possible will understand the points being made.
One last note: We may at times use masculine pronouns (such as he, him, and his) when referring to players. This is purely for ease of reading and is not intended to indicate any bias against female poker players. In fact, one of the great things about poker is that it is a sport in which men and women can compete on equal terms, and in which both have the same potential to succeed.
Whether you are male or female, a beginner or an advanced player, young or old, we hope that The Poker Mindset will help you to improve your play. Read on to discover a whole new way of looking at the game.
