Plenty of poker players possess dollars and cents. At least they start out that way. But few have both dollars and a winner’s poker sense. Dollars and Sense: Winning Ways of Low-Stakes-Limit Poker provides the poker sense to make the poker dollars. This book lays out the path to gaining a winner’s edge by providing solid instruction on which hands to play and not to play, gauging fellow players and determining the statistical probability of poker outcomes, recognizing and pursuing lucrative promotion hands, factoring the table rake and dealer tips into all equations, knowing the difference between good and bad table manners, and much more. Poker stories illuminate the biggest victories and worst defeats, enabling you to replicate the right actions and avoid mistakes. Most importantly, this is all delivered in an entertaining and thoughtful narrative that is full of insight, humor, and applications for life. Based on more than a decade of personal experience and meticulous research, Dollars and Sense is the equivalent of a graduate-level textbook, but one that’s enjoyable to read. When it comes to low-stakes-limit poker sense, whether you’re more interested in the journey or the destination, this is the book for you.
