Real Poker II

This book focuses on four crucial aspects of poker strategy: protection, price, hand-reading, and situational adjustment. It delves into various concepts including how to play ace-king out of position, when to employ slow or fast play, the art of semi-bluffing, and how player dynamics affect different situations. The author, Cooke, also explores techniques such as observing opponents’ play, drawing to overcards, maximizing value bets, and giving action to receive action in return. To illustrate these concepts, the book provides real-game examples, complete with analysis of Cooke’s decisions—both correct and incorrect—and his opponents’ reactions, offering readers practical insights into advanced poker strategy.
