Limit hold em, while currently not as popular as no-limit hold em, is an extremely interesting game from a theoretical standpoint: The rules are complex enough to allow constant intrigue, yet simple enough to allow computer bots to play the game on an extremely high level. These are important advantages over the two other most commonly played flop games: no-limit hold em and pot-limit Omaha. And yet, all three games share crucial similarities in terms of community cards, game structure, and position. Consequently, these advantages make it the model poker game. This book approaches limit hold em in a rigorous way: using game theory, statistical analysis, and a focus on posing new questions that can produce additional value to your game. Some of the conclusions are provocative and counter-intuitive; providing new ideas for any poker player. While targeted to the dedicated professionals, Further Limit Hold em is accessible to players of all levels, including someone just started in poker. Concepts are woven together and developed from the ground up, while at the same time, you re shown when to forego higher level ideas in favor of simpler and more profitable alternatives.

As poker theory develops, the field is becoming more abstruse and mathematical; gradually becoming less accessible to the layperson. The Intelligent Poker Player by Philip Newall aims to reverse this trend by presenting a cohesive and sophisticated method of play in plain English. This approach, in principle, can be used to analyze any form of poker, although this book mainly shows applications in the popular forms of limit and no-limit hold 'em. The Intelligent Poker Player is also the first book to discuss the emergent field of artificial poker intelligence - otherwise known as poker robots. The best computers are capable of playing heads-up limit hold 'em at a world class level, and this book deconstructs some interesting features of their play. And finally, professional poker is a risky career choice. So in addition to the strategy chapters which include topics such as ôInformation Hiding,ö ôMiddle Game Concepts,ö and ôNo-Limit Hold 'em: Applications and Extensions,ö the author will show how to mitigate avoidable risks with topics such as ôBankroll Management and Shot Selection,ö ôRisk Preferences,ö ôPsychological Biases,ö ôInvesting,ö and ôPredicting Future Poker Returns.ö Book jacket.

Now, he shows players how to apply those theories to actual hands in order to make smart, confident decisions with every move.
