Being a successful poker player involves much more than just mastering the game’s technical aspects. While playing good poker is a skill that can be learned, achieving consistent success requires expertise in various other fields. Jacobs, who has been a successful online poker player for seven years, shares his insights in this book. He explains how to achieve success, emphasizing that much of the work must be done away from the poker table. This book is essential for anyone who already plays a decent game of poker but aims to join the elite group of players who consistently perform well. Jacobs outlines precisely how this can be accomplished, highlighting the importance of skills beyond just playing a good game.

Volume 1 of “How Good is Your Limit Hold’em” quickly became an essential book for serious limit hold’em players. Many professional and semi-professional players have remarked on the valuable tips they discovered within its pages. The book employs a unique test-yourself format that mimics live action play, encouraging readers to determine the optimal move at each stage of a hand. This second volume continues with the same engaging quiz format, introducing new hand examples that focus on the increasingly popular short-handed game.
