Making Winners Out Of Beginners and Advanced Players
by Dennis Purdy
This is a great book for beginners! It is laid out in a simple easy to understand fashion. It is also jam packed with useful information. A read of this book will make you a better player, a study of this book will get you ready to move up in the poker world. If you are new to Texas holdem, or a player that does not win consistently I would suggest you purchase and read this book. Dennis Purdy left the "working world" and moved to Las Vegas at the age of 35 to undertake a career as a professional gambler. He became an expert card counter at blackjack starting in 1978, eventually forming, teaching and leading several "teams" in Las Vegas, and achieving a winning session rate of 86 percent. Although he retired from full-time professional gambling in 1983, he still uses his skills to supplement his income. Mr. Purdy lives in Tacoma, Washington.

Poker is America’s national card game, and its popularity continues to grow. Nationwide, you can find a game in progress everywhere. If you want to play, you can find poker games on replicas of 19th century riverboats or on Native American tribal lands. You can play poker at home with the family or online with opponents from around the world. Like bowling and billiards before it, poker has moved out from under the seedier side of its roots and is flowering in the sunshine.

Playing Internet poker in real time against
real opponents might just represent poker's brave new world. Whether for play-money or
real money, it's an environment consisting of virtual tables, player icons representing
you and your opponents, and specialized computer algorithms that randomly shuffle the
"cards." It's a world where you can find a game day or night. Though it may be
the wee hours of the morning in California, it's prime time in Europe, and someone,
somewhere, is looking to play a little poker. But it's poker with a difference. The game
is the same, to be sure, but technology does kick in -- sometimes in strange and
unexpected ways. A reference as well as a tutorial, this book includes a CD with free
poker software, and a special bonus chapter with 125 interactive hands to help you prepare
to play the Internet games for fun or for profit.

Texas Hold ’em is not an easy game to play well. To become an expert you must balance many concepts, some of which occasionally contradict each other. In 1988, the first edition appeared. Many ideas, which were only known to a small, select group of players, were made available to anyone who was striving to become an expert, and the hold ’em explosion had begun.
