Poker Books by Jonathan Little

Patricia Cardner, a psychology professor, licensed counselor, and avid poker player, conducted interviews with a specific group of professional poker players. These players all had two things in common: they had been successful for many years and had lifetime winnings exceeding $1,000,000. Patricia then analyzed the data from these interviews to identify the psychological skills, techniques, and strategies they employed.

Chip Reese, one of the greatest poker players of all time, once told Mike Sexton that his success was due to his superior psychological control over his play compared to his opponents. He explained that while his opponents might be as good as him when they’re at their best, they also have moments of weakness that he doesn’t. This book, Peak Poker Performance, will teach you how to emulate Reese’s mental strength. Dr. Patricia Cardner, in collaboration with Jonathan Little, provides specific strategies and guidelines that can improve your performance and mental state. These strategies, which have been proven to work with hundreds of poker players at various levels, can help you create an unbeatable mindset, handle downswings, eliminate procrastination, improve motivation, and master your emotions. This book is a follow-up to Cardner’s first book, Positive Poker, and uses the latest research to help you achieve better results in poker and in life.

Have you ever wondered how the best poker players in the world successfully bluff on a regular basis? Many amateurs make the mistake of mindlessly attempting sporadic bluffs because they do not fully understand when and why to bluff. In this book, world-class poker professional Jonathan Little (with over $6,300,000 in live tournament cashes) will explain when and why to bluff in order to maximize your chances of success. “Bluffs” demonstrates how to widen your ranges and force your opponents to make costly errors. In small and middle stakes cash games and tournaments, you will often find yourself playing against conservative opponents who play in a straightforward manner. They see flops with their good hands and fold to bets when they do not connect with the board. Against these players, you can play a wide range with the intention of playing aggressively post-flop. Numerous examples, featuring the play of an amateur player who got out of his comfort zone to put these tactics to the test, make it clear when you should play aggressively and the thoughts you should consider as you do so. Each situation is explained with attention to your hole cards, stack size, position, and your perception of your opponent. You will learn how to apply the concepts discussed in “Bluffs” in the real world, allowing you to win more money from poker.
