Poker is hot and people will ante up for this book. Thanks to TV's "Celebrity Poker Showdown" and "World Poker Tour" and the huge popularity of online poker, "Card Player" magazine estimates that 100 million people play poker today, up from 50 million only five years ago.

It explains the basics and popular variations like Texas Hold 'em and Omaha Poker in an appealing full-color format. With hand-by-hand explanations, strategies, and tips, it teaches people to play smart and win games. Dan Ramsey (Willits, CA) shares his extensive knowledge of home, casino, and online poker through hundreds of instructional photos and drawings to make learning and winning the world's favorite game easier.
