Total Poker

David Spanier

New Edition

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Winning at poker is not just analysis, clever tactics, not even inspired bluff, although Total Poker examines in great depth what makes up these various elements. Ultimately luck works out the same for everyone, there really is no such thing as good cards or bad cards; winning is a psychological decision and up to each player. Whether you play poker for pennies around the kitchen table or want to bet big money against the high rollers in Las Vegas, Total Poker will put your game right.
