Don't Listen to Phil Hellmuth: Correcting the 50 Worst Pieces of Poker Advice You've Ever Heard - Softcover

Don't Listen To Phil Hellmuth marks not just a poker revolution, but an evolution as well. For those who've long wondered why their games can't make the leap into profitability, the answer has arrived in the form of a question: Have you ever considered that much of what stands for today's mainstream poker theory is incorrect? See if you recognize any of these commonly held beliefs: Pre-flop play doesn't matter that much. The key to getting paid off is playing loose so no one can put you in a hand. Make big 3-bets to end the hand now. Calling is weak. You have to bet this flop because you don't want to give up. While there is an element of truth to some of these statements, they are by and large major misconceptions. With their new book, authors Dusty Schmidt and Paul Hoppe focus on taking apart the 50 greatest fallacies in poker --- many of which represent pillars of the way the game is played. No one is spared: world champions, television commentators ... even the authors themselves. All in all, Don't Listen To Phil Hellmuth is a devastating blow to poker's old guard; a shock to the game's collective system. Like Schmidt's world-renowned book, Treat Your Poker Like A Business, this book covers the most prominent scenarios, providing solutions to situations that arise every 10 minutes rather than once a month. Mind you: this is not a from-the-sidelines critique of poker luminaries, but rather a comprehensive guide that departs from the "one-size-fits-all" advice so common today. Readers will find Don't Listen To Phil Hellmuth to be a sweeping manual that completely troubleshoots the entire poker process.
