Product Description
What "secret" separates top poker players from poker wannabes?

Is it zen-like mind-reading skills, a computer-like brain or thousands of hours of play? No. It is a series of established approaches and behaviors that enables these experts to bring their "A" game to the table session after session, regardless of short-term results.

In this groundbreaking book, Taylor and Hilger lay bare the secrets of the Poker Mindset: seven core attitudes and concepts that ensure you have the optimal emotional, psychological, and behavioral framework for playing superior poker.

The Poker Mindset deeply explores vital topics that most poker books only touch upon:
- Tilt: What it really is, why and when you are most prone to it, and how you can avoid it.
- Bankroll: A complete examination of bankroll management from a technical, but more importantly, from a psychological and emotional viewpoint.
- Opponents: How to determine your competitors' mental and emotional processes so that you can dominate, out think and outplay them.
- Downswings: Every poker player experiences them, but you will truly understand and be armed against low ebbs when they occur.
- Bad Beats: The Poker Mindset will enable you to overcome the trauma of bad beats and losing big pots.

Poker is a fun game, but it is even more fun when you win. The Poker Mindset may be the most valuable poker book you will ever read. Embrace its concepts and you can overcome the unseen obstacles that are limiting your success at the table.

When you make the Poker Mindset your mindset, you will take control of your game and walk away a winner.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Poker Book I have read!   December 17, 2008
This is by far the best poker book I have ever read! There are hundreds of books explaining all the technical and mathematical aspects of the game, but every serious poker player knows that those are just the foundations of a good poker player. To be a world class player, though, you need to be very good at the emotional and psychological aspects of the game, and this book has the best content on that topic. Anyone who has problems with tilt and variance, you must read this. If you want to be a well lubricated poker machine, this book is your oil! I highly recommend it!


4 out of 5 stars If your game leaks, this will help   December 6, 2008
If you are a relatively new player, as I am, you find yourself constantly falling into a non-optimal mindset. Over time this creates leakage that makes you a loser no matter how well you otherwise play. This book makes that point in a compelling and interesting way. I'm leaking a lot less and thinking a lot more.

Who would I recommend this to? Someone who is trying to take their game to the next level. Particularly if you find yourself steaming even a little bit.

Who wouldn't I recommend this to? Advanced players or those looking for detailed game strategy.



5 out of 5 stars excellent -- 90% of this book is applicable to backgammon   November 2, 2008
this book covers your mental attitude and how to handle bad beats. I am a backgammon player not a poker player. 90% of this book is applicable to backgammon. I took a risk with this book and delivered what I wanted. Thoroughly recommended.

You can't be a PPP without having read this book.
Seriously, poker it's a game of man played with cards, and this book will teach you how to master your attitude to that.
Great.

Arrived quickly. Excellent book for understanding how to recognize tells with yourself and others and what to do about it. Helps you get over the 'bad beat' and prepares you for long sessions and keys to success. Recommended for advanced players who care about getting over the emotional aspects of the game and having good mindset to continue making good decisions.
