Professional Poker

An indispensable guide for those who fantasize about playing poker for a living, offering expert-level playing skills and odds that form the foundation of a pro’s abilities, as well as addressing career issues such as bankroll management, work hours, tournaments vs. cash games, travel, emotional control, taxes, getting staked, and online play. The book also answers important questions that few other poker books address, including whether one has what it takes to play professionally, whether to quit their day job or play part-time, how much money can be made, how much is needed to get started, and what the pros on TV know that others don’t. Professional Poker outlines each step in the transition to the professional level and provides skills and advice to help players always bring their “A” game. The book has received early praise from renowned poker authors and commentators, who describe it as the best poker career guide ever written, a must-read for anyone considering poker as a career, well-written, informative, accurate, and a sobering yet frank examination of playing poker professionally.
