The second best poker book I've ever read! You can't be a PPP without having read this book. Seriously, poker it's a game of man played with cards, and this book will teach you how to master your attitude to that. Great.
Amazing book for poker. Don't expect strategy tips. Arrived quickly. Excellent book for understanding how to recognize tells with yourself and others and what to do about it. Helps you get over the 'bad beat' and prepares you for long sessions and keys to success. Recommended for advanced players who care about getting over the emotional aspects of the game and having good mindset to continue making good decisions.
Relaxing book to read Reading this book makes a lot of sense. Good advice on bankroll management, and most importantly tells you what you need to do to help you avoid tilt. Tilt is probably the main cause of a downswing, avoiding tilt is important. After reading this book I feel cool and calm about playing poker knowing that it will all even out in the long run. I also like how it stresses that poker is just a game and that there are other things in life.
You may not need this book, but you do need to know and do what it says So you may as well buy it. I'm an online pro poker player and have been for about 2 years now and I can say with 100% certainty that this book has increased my profits. I've read it about 3.5 times. If you have already mastered your tilt you may not need this, but it has lots of good information about different types of tilt you may not be familiar with. It also gives convincing points about BR management. Give it to your always busto friends.
But most likely you need it. When people ask me which book helped my poker game most out of my collection this is currently the one I point to.
