It's true that Maria Konnikova had never actually played poker before and didn't even know the rules when she approached Erik Seidel, Poker Hall of Fame inductee and winner of tens of millions of dollars in earnings, and convinced him to be her mentor. But she knew her man: a famously thoughtful and broad-minded player, he was intrigued by her pitch that she wasn't interested in making money so much as learning about life.

Many poker players can make good decisions at the table with a reasonable frequency. Nevertheless, there are numerous situations where even very experienced players behave in predictable ways. These deeply-ingrained habits lead them to make mistakes. The problem is that these situations won't often arise at the table by chance - you have to make them happen. Exploitative Play in Live Poker is a ground-breaking work that teaches you how to create the circumstances where your opponents will be likely to blunder and how to exploit them when they do.

The Poker Stop-It List wasn't written by a mega pro. It was written by a fellow human who just loves (and now crushes) the game. I’m an established author. I created a blog followed by millions, as well as various books. Over the years, my followers never knew that I had a secret life playing poker. I wrote about parenting, relationships, life, introspective topics, and shared lots of opinions and stories. My gift has always been putting complex concepts and human dynamics into words that others connect with and understand. So, why not do it with poker, too?

There is a lot of money to be made at small-stakes no-limit hold'em because...surprise, surprise...most of the players aren't very good. However, few players understand exactly how to exploit these games. Competent players who generally play larger stakes will, of course, beat them. But they won't beat them for nearly as much as they ought to. Why? Because they don't understand how to adjust correctly.

The story of Doyle Brunson, an American treasure and the greatest poker player of all time, is one for the ages. It’s a story of guts and glory, of good luck and bad, of triumph and unspeakable tragedy, of courage and grace. He has survived whippings, gun fights, stabbings, mobsters (the real-life ones portrayed in the movie Casino), murderers, and a death sentence when, riddled with incurable cancer, he was given months to live by doctors who told him his hand was played out.

Critic reviews
Tommy Angelo's 2007 Elements of Poker is already a classic. After decades of experience as a player and a coach, Angelo identified 144 of poker's "elements" — stuff like A-Game, Tilt, Bankroll, Position, Running Good and Running Bad, Awareness, and much more. Witty and wise, stern and compassionate, Angelo's book is a reassuring guide for a challenging game.
Angelo recently revised and narrated an audiobook version of Elements. At seven hours and seventeen minutes, there's plenty of valuable material to (re)discover. Despite the absence of conceptual charts and illustrations — all available on his website — the audiobook is as accessible and relevant as ever.
As Angelo's readers already well know, Elements of Poker is less about playing poker than about how to be a poker player.

Best poker book out there- even for those more experienced cash game players, you will learn at least 1 essential new tactic to improve your game. Tommy’s voice is also one of the best for audiobooks. I wish he would write another- I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Great version of a great book!
I read Elements of Poker when it was brand-new. I had heard many of these elements direct from the author even before then, but the book put everything into a great perspective. Now, the audiobook gives everyone the opportunity to hear him deliver this updated version straight to the "reader." There's nothing like it--I think it's always the case that an audiobook "read by the author" contains details, nuance, and enthusiasm for the subject matter that makes it a cut above.
Also, it is worth pointing out that even a number of years post-publication, the elements still stand up. This book is solid poker content, but I'm still struck by its applicability to other games, other professions, even everyday life. Get it. "Read" it. You'll enjoy it and you'll learn from it.

It gets better
I didn’t like the book at first.
When I heard that Q10 is likely his most profitable hand I knew that was clearly wrong and I became suspicious of his expertise.
But then he totally won me over talking about the psychology of poker. His explanation of breathing was remarkable.
I know this sounds silly, but actually he was right on target with his explanation. It was very impressive.
I got my money’s worth.
Well done!

Best audio poker book
I've listened to several poker books on audio. I almost didn't buy another one because I find them hard to follow while walking my dog, which is when I usually listen to audiobooks.
This is by far the best audio poker book I've ever listened to. it's full of short simple concepts that make a lot of sense. While some of the concepts are ones I've heard before many are unique and actionable. Even the ones I've heard before are presented in a way that makes me feel like I have a new depth knowledge on the subject.
it's the kind of book that I will listen to over and over again.
Lastly, I find the authors writing style entertaining and humorous. I left out loud several times while listening to this book.
