The Complete Guide to Poker

This guide to poker enables the beginner to quickly pick up enough knowledge to sit in on a game. Based on the authors' experience of running a poker school, it explains the basic starting requirements, how the game works, how it proceeds, the betting systems, choosing your game, infringements and penalties, terminology and, if you want to play regularly, how to start and run a successful small-game school. For more experienced players there are detailed descriptions of over 100 games - some invented by the authors themselves - with tactical advice, guidelines on skilful play, and mathematical tables for those wishing to base their understanding of poker on the laws of probability.
