Ed Miller, who gave us the book "Playing the Player" is back this time with a book of strategy quite intriguing (not to say marketing) under: The One Big Secret that Keeps Elite Players on Top. With all the books released Poker, to get noticed, you need to know the attention. And that is what Ed Miller has tried to do with this book.
So what's this famous secret? In a Word, we could say that it is (.. .tam dam!) aggression. Big surprise? No, of course.
Approximately 100% of good poker players have this thing in common that they are aggressive and they know how to put their opponents in difficult situations. This is not in check-Cabrera or check-foldant oversimplification that our opponents will fear us, obviously.
In the words of the author, several players play poker as a video poker machine. They want to see some flops, hope to connect with this flop and get paid. Obviously, this situation will happen rarely. Most of the time, the player will be folder opponents when it will hit big or don't hit nothing on the flop. The combination of the 2 (hit big and getting paid) is fairly marginal.
These players can still hope "set-over-setter" (three of a kind vs. kind) their opponents, but this is not something that occurs often enough to make money at poker. In short, to remedy this situation, it must therefore be aggressive.
Further, he adds (translation): "when I hear people say that poker is dead, I laugh. This is ridiculous. When 75% of the regular play predictably and a simple contre-strategie can destroy them, poker is not dead. It is even very far to be dead".
The book will be used to support its point and to guide the reading to an aggressive intelligent and pay. Several there will cover topics such as frequencies, image, the textures of the flops, bets, the frequencies of bluff, call frequencies frequencies, etc.
This new publication is unfortunately not yet available in print, but it is available in electronic format in the amount of $ 49.99 via this site. No date has been given for what is the paper version.
