The First half of this book is intended as a collection of jokes and true stories that can appeal to the whole family. You can read these jokes and stories pretty much anywhere, and that's why I have used the film rating standard of "G" to mean "Suitable for a General Audience." The Second half of this book is Adult Humor - the more "colorful" jokes and stories from the world around us. You can decide for yourself which are funny, and which are not. At least some of them should produce a chuckle, perhaps even deep, body-shaking laughter, as indeed they have so done for me over the many years I have enjoyed them.
Cash is King - and with this book, you too can haul in the Cash, and laugh all the way to the Bank In Poker - and Texas Hold'em especially - knowing how and when to play some of the best hands is a key requirement. Because - while they may be statistically the "best" hands - they don't always win. And that's because Poker is much more than just cards It's People A battle of wits, of knowledge, of experience, skills, observation, and just plain old Chutzpa But there's a lot more to this game than just this. Especially for Texas Hold'em. While the game looks simple - and is relatively easy to learn - it's apparent simplicity belies a true complexity of decisions and outcomes. And just knowing the Odds is not enough.Math alone will not help you to Win. It's a useful tool, of course, but Odds, Implied Odds, Pot Odds, and so on, are just a part of the overall arsenal that a good and successful poker player must have.In the end - Poker is a game of people - and that means that a "hunch", or an "observation", or a "tell" are just as important - if not more so - than knowing the math behind the game and all it's Odds.In this book, you'll find the tools and skills you need to make you a Winner And that's great for any game And for your bankroll
