Poker has never been more popular—and thanks to The World Poker Tour’s new “lipstick cameras,” which let TV viewers see the players’ hands, it’s one of today’s fastest-growing spectator sports. For all those fans, Lou Krieger, author of the bestselling Poker Player’s Bible, explains what separates the winners from the losers. Starting with a solid explanation of the rules of Texas Hold ’Em (the pros’ favorite), he quickly dispels the misconception that it’s a game of luck. His 52 tips cover everything from figuring the odds to reading the other players’ body language. It’s an approach guaranteed to give both social players and serious competitors better results at the poker table, and TV viewers a deeper understanding of this deceptively subtle game.
