"Beat the Donks" is a book about the lowest stakes No-Limit Hold'em games played in Las Vegas. These games are filled with "Donks" that are easy to beat as long as you can recognize and exploit their mistakes. This book defines a Donk as an experienced player who makes the same mistakes over and over again, unwilling to adapt. This stubbornness makes the Donk very predictable and, therefore, easy to beat.This book discusses some of the biggest mistakes the Donks make, including: playing too many hands, playing out of position, limping too much, calling too many preflop raises, chasing draws, poor bet sizing, and paying off with the worse hand. The book also discusses some of the most exploitable tells made by these Donks.This is not a how-to poker cookbook. It assumes the reader is already familiar with No Limit Hold'em and much of the poker jargon that goes with it. It does not teach you how to play basic NLH. Instead, it aims to refine your game by pointing out how you can exploit the various major weaknesses common to the typical Vegas Donk-fest poker games.This book has 54 hand examples from the Red Rock Poker Room in Las Vegas and 22 figures.The printed book is black & White while the ebook is color.

Donkey Poker teaches you how to crush the low-stakes live no-limit hold'em games you will find in Las Vegas. These "Donkey Games" play much differently than high-stakes live games or even low-stakes online games, so the optimal strategies are often much different. Donkey Games are filled with players who make the same mistakes over and over again and who are very exploitable. Donkey Poker teaches a small-ball brand of exploitive and low-variance poker. It teaches you what to do and why you should do it.

This 3rd Edition analyzes six million hand histories to identify the most profitable online No Limit Hold'em poker strategies, (an increase from 2 million in the 2nd edition). The new edition also includes additional new content. These "optimal" strategies are verified for stakes between NL10 ($0.05/$0.10) and NL200 ($1.00/$2.00) full ring online games. Despite the title, this book is not really a mathematics book, though it is certainly statistical behind the curtain. It assumes that the reader is already familiar with No Limit Hold'em and much of the poker jargon that goes with it. It does not teach you how to play basic NLH. The hope is that you will recognize the basic truths revealed by the analysis and be inspired to incorporate them into your own game.

In Think Like a Horse, veteran “horse whisperer” and leadership expert Grant Golliher applies his hard-won horse sense to teach invaluable lessons anyone can use to live a fuller, more successful life. Grant Golliher is what some would call a “horse whisperer,” able to get a wild horse to calmly accept a saddle and a rider without the use of force. Through training thousands of horses, many traumatized or abused, Golliher was able to learn essential lessons about communication, boundaries, fairness, trust, and respect—lessons that apply not just to horses but to humans as well. It’s why celebrities, Fortune 500 ex­ecutives, professional coaches, supreme court justices, and even ordinary families from around the world flock to his Wyoming ranch every year to take part in what one CEO called “the most transformational experience I have ever encountered.” Horse whispering may sound like magic, but as Grant explains in Think Like a Horse, it’s not really all that mysterious. The lessons he shares are as fundamental and ageless as the relationship between horses, the people who ride them, and the beauty of the West. In fact, it’s an approach that anyone can learn, and should learn, in order to better understand our common humanity, overcome trauma, foster more fulfilled relationships, and unlock untapped potential in virtually every aspect of our lives. All you have to do is think like a horse.

"You know how they say you can't climb out of a hole till you hit bottom?" "Yeah?" "I'm trying to find the bottom." At seventeen, Denn Doyle isn't old enough to gamble legally, but thanks to his talent for reading tells, he's made a fortune -- and along the way, he's upset some of the most notorious Texas holdem players in Las Vegas, including Artie Kingston, who had already lost his nightclub to Denn. But now Denn's luck has run out and he's just about broke. His only chance is a million-dollar, winner-take-all tournament at Artie's new casino, but Denn can't play unless he comes up with the $10,000 entry fee. Denn's future all comes down to one hand of poker. National Book Award-winning author Pete Hautman introduced Denn Doyle in No Limit, of which School Library Journal said, "Fast paced and powerfully delivered...as taut and suspenseful as a high-stakes game." Here he deals another hand of love, luck, and greed in the high-stakes world of poker.

The legendary Hollywood Hills are home to wealth, fame, and power -- passing through the neighborhood, it's hard not to get a little greedy. LAPD veteran "Hollywood Nate" Weiss could take or leave the opulence, but he wouldn't say no to onscreen fame. He may get his shot when he catches the appreciative eye of B-list director Rudy Ressler, and his troublemaking fiancée, Leona Brueger, the older-but-still-foxy widow of a processed-meat tycoon. Nate tries to elude her crafty seductions, but consents to keep an eye on their estate in the Hollywood Hills while they're away. Also minding the mansion is Raleigh Dibble, a hapless ex-con trying to put the past behind him. Raleigh is all too happy to be set up for the job -- as butler-cum-watchdog -- by Nigel Wickland, Leona's impeccably dressed art dealer. What Raleigh doesn't realize is that under the natty clothes and posh accent, Nigel has a nefarious plan: two paintings hanging on the mansion's walls will guarantee them more money than they've ever seen. Everyone's dreams are just within reach -- the only problem is, this is Hollywood. A circle of teenage burglars that the media has dubbed The Bling Ring has taken to pillaging the homes of Hollywood celebutants like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, and when a pair of drug-addled young copycats stumbles upon Nigel's heist, that's just the beginning of the disaster to come. Soon Hollywood Nate, surfer cops Flotsam and Jetsam, and the rest of the team at Hollywood Station have a deadly situation on their hands. Hollywood Hills is a raucous and dangerous roller coaster ride that showcases Joseph Wambaugh in vintage form.
