So you want to play poker. ----- Maybe it's the challenge. Maybe it's the cash. Maybe you're turned on by guys in hoodies and sunglasses. Whatever the reason, if you're a girl - or guy! - who wants to learn poker, then this book is handier than your high school cheat sheet. ----- Learn everything from insider poker lingo (bluff! checkraise! snapcall!) to fancy winning plays with the help of easy-to-read mini-chapters and quizzes. Most poker books read like a math textbook. This one reads like Cosmo. ----- The only poker book that teaches card playing strategy and how to bluff your boyfriend, A Girl's Guide to Poker will make you the belle of the ball - or the cardshark of the casino. ----- Amanda Botfeld isn't your average poker player - how many hold their cards with a red nail polish manicure? Not enough! Nicknamed the Bridget Jones of poker, she seeks to turn the tables for women everywhere, writing a sassy how-to guide so more women can join the game. A writer at heart, her work has previously been published in the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, and Huffington Post.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
If you're a newcomer to the game, whoever you are, A Girl's Guide to Poker is a book that you should have your eyes on. It will help to educate you on several aspects of the game, from bet sizing to putting your opponent on a range of hands (and the reasoning behind it) to bluff catching (yes, Botfeld does step into some more in-depth material in the latter third of the book). But if you're looking for some entertainment as well, Amanda Botfeld's A Girl's Guide to Poker will leave you with a good feeling - and sometimes that's what we need when we're getting educated! - Earl Burton, PokerNewsDaily.com
