The Secret to Online Poker
Online Poker at Its Best" by Andrew H. Wong is a book of
online poker strategies and tips. Andrew H. Wong is an "Internet Poker
Master". I am not sure what his credentials are, but he can certainly use
a little boost. It is clear that he has done his homework and researched a lot
about the online world of poker.
I think this book has a lot to teach us in the area of
communication and dealing with opponents; one's own unique way of talking to
them. He starts with "What Are You Doing?" which is important because
when you first meet someone you will be excited and nervous, or at least that
is how I was when I first started playing. The point is to realize the basic
communication skills you need to start doing well, whether you are a player or
a poker teacher. If you can't communicate well with others, it is likely that
you can't really teach yourself to do well.
From the book, The Secret to Online Poker, it is clear that we
all need to develop and practice our basic communication skills in our dealings
with others. When you enter into an interaction with another player or poker
teacher, it is clear that we are all representing ourselves. The only person
you can control is yourself, which is why it is so important to know how to
talk to someone and deal with them properly. If you are not careful you can
make the wrong impression.
What is clear is that we all have a wide variety of
personalities and styles, and our communication style is the key to succeeding
in the game of poker. It is no different from any other professional situation.
Think about what you would do in a negotiation between two people.
The same principle applies to poker and we all have our own
style of communication style. Andrew goes into detail about this and the focus
is on being able to communicate well with your opponents in an effective
manner. In doing so, you will have less trouble developing rapport with others
when you meet them in a game of poker.
He doesn't focus on hand management, although that can be
learned. I will say that I am more likely to make small bets when I am talking
to an opponent in an informal setting, or even when I am observing an opponent.
I am not sure that I would want to let my hand drop in a game of online poker,
but it is clear that communicating better with my opponents will help me manage
my bankroll better.
I am not sure why the author chose the name "Business
Strategy" in the title, but he might want to consider changing it to
something more appropriate. Of course, the problem with the term is that poker
players generally do not have any business strategy, they just play the bandarq .
If that is his plan, he should consider changing the title to "Newbie's
Guide to Online Poker". This book is for those that want to learn what
they need to know to improve their performance.
I am glad I read this book, even though I am a little hesitant
to refer to it as an Internet Poker Strategy Book. I think that would make it
appear that it was solely written for Internet Poker Players and the concepts
would not be understood. If there were something that all Internet Poker
Players needed to know, I believe this book provides that. If you want to get
better at Internet Poker, this book can help you in your journey.
