Expert strategy guide
for players who want to stop losing!
Product Description
It’s all about winning. Nothing else matters when you play a poker tournament. The money is in first place. Play to win. Not to bubble.
Tournament Poker for Donkeys is all about playing to win. Whether you are a beginning or intermediate level player, you need to realize that knowing how to play good poker does not mean you are going to win a poker tournament.
If you’ve been playing poker tournaments for a while, my guess is that you think you are pretty good. Guess what? 80% of poker players think they are in the top 20%. Yeah, I know that’s not possible.
In Tournament Poker for Donkeys, you will learn the basics such as key poker concepts, winning moves and how to vary your play by the stage of the tournament.
And you will discover how the top pros think about how to play specific hands, and how to make key decisions in a poker tournament. Get inside the mind of Phil Ivey, Gus Hansen, and Daniel Negreanu.
But Tournament Poker for Donkeys will give you even more by revealing the poker leaks you may have and need to fix, and how to spot them in your opponents.
And since online poker is unlike any other, there is a section that shows you how to change your game for online tournament play. And, it will reveal the newest trends in the game which give your opponents a big advantage online.
Finally, there are poker quizzes and a review of how to put it all together to win your next tournament.
With Tournament Poker for Donkeys you will realize that learning how to win a poker tournament starts when you no longer fear losing.
Most players learn the "right way to play." Guess what? That's the wrong way to play. It just makes you a predictable player and transparent to the top players.
Don't fall for that "you need to survive to win" mantra. Survival is for playing to get past the bubble. You can cash one hundred times in a row and it will not be worth as much as that one victory. That is true in the small buy-in events, and it’s true in the major events. As you know from TV, that one major win can change your life!
When it comes to tournament poker, the reality is that there is not a system to follow. Mike Sexton says that poker takes a “lifetime to master.” He is right. But you don’t need to master the game to win a poker tournament. Want proof? Take a look at who just won your local tournament or that last online event.
You need an expert strategy guide that shows you how to stop losing! You need Tournament Poker for Donkeys because it will change how you think about your game and how you play the game.
