Holden is an experienced poker player who does not pretend to be as expert as the world's top pros; but he can write better than them ? and he knows most well enough to milk them for personalized advice, tips and subtle strategies. HOLDEN ON HOLD'EM will offer thorough analyses of the difference between home and casino play, between cash and tournament play, between internet poker and the real thing against real human beings. Amid definitive charts and tables of odds, probabilities and other statistics, sample hands, advice on etiquette and other niceties, there will be sections on bluff, tells and the nuances of 'position' and 'outs', as well as a brief history of the game and anecdotes about its great players. This book can claim to be the first really readable manual in the history of poker! It will be an entertaining, anecdote-packed and invaluable companion to the narrative poker classics BIG DEAL and BIGGER DEAL.
