Poker Plays You Can Use Volume 2

This book is very much of the style of the first in the series with the easy to read hand histories played at stakes that us mere mortals actually play at.The book is divided into four sections: Three sections are devoted to hand histories which cover tactics, strategy, and unforced errors. The fourth section comprises the “Missions”. These are a series of exercises and study techniques you can use to improve your game.Tactics are very much in the style of my first book, they are plays that can be made in specific situations that happen with reasonable frequency. The strategy section is more general guidance and analysis that is often more theoretical and more lengthy in discussion. Unforced errors are hands where the Villain did something wrong and we were the lucky beneficiary. These chapters show errors to avoid and how to benefit from these gifts when offered.Missions focus on off-table study. The missions are all created so that no computer analysis is required. After years of coaching, I have discovered many readers and students have the most success absorbing and actualizing the materials from this book with the use of physical cards and chips. I have found this to be superior to just using poker software for range analysis and equity calculations. Read more
