Description: I wrote this book to illustrate and analyze the underlying components of Texas Hold em poker odds so that you will become a better Texas Hold em poker player.

The illustrations in this book will bring meaning and life to those tables. You will be able to make quick decisions about complicated problems. You will have more time to focus on other information, such as: tells, who is a weak player, who is a strong player, who is too aggressive, who will fold their blinds, who will protect their blinds, who will take advantage of the button (position) and who you can make a move against (bluff). You will have the confidence you need to play and compete with the pros.
