Secrets of Professional Tournament Poker, Volume 1 dealt with the fundamentals of play. Volume 2 builds on this base and examines the highly complex issue of how to handle the different stages of a tournament. At times the best strategy is to play loose, create problems for your opponent and thus keep accumulating chips. At other times an ultra-tight strategy will be the most profitable. Understanding when to "change gears" is a highly developed skill that requires a great deal of study and experience.

Poker is a game of so many variables; table position, flop texture, the number of players in a hand, the personalities of your opponents, and so much more.

So, you want to get better at poker? You ask advice and what do people tell you? Probably something along the lines of “just keep working on it and you'll get there.” This is wrong. “Just working on it” will not help you. Randomly analyzing hands, watching poker on TV, or vaguely looking at equity equations won't cut it. The only approach that will work is the right sort of practice based on a relatively new area of psychological investigation - the science of expertise.

As a mostly recreational cash game player I new there were a lot tells my opponents were given off but I didn't know what they meant or what I should be looking for. After reading this book I was able to immediately identify the massive tells my opponents were giving away. This really upped my game especially in spots were I was on the fence about what to do. His examples were given from his own hand history and was easy to understand.

Well worth the cost of a credit
I haven't actually played live poker in several years although have played as a professional previously and now as a serious hobby. I bought this book on the strength of verbal poker tells which was referenced in a podcast/youtube poker video and then bought this from the same author. I found this book immensely interesting and thought of aspects where I realise I have played hands badly in the past.
If my play improves by a fraction of a percentage then with enough hands this book will pay for itself many times over, it might be several years till I play live poker but there are enough aspects that apply to online poker and I have no time regrets listening to this. it will probably be on my list of books I can fall asleep to, each example hand has its own chapter so it will get lots of repeat listens.
