Purposeful Practice for Poker: The Modern Approach to Studying Poker
About this ebook
This is wrong. “Just working on it” will not help you. Randomly analysing hands, watching poker on TV or vaguely looking at equity equations won’t cut it. The only approach that will work is the right sort of practice based on a relatively new area of psychological investigation – the science of expertise.
This book identifies precisely what this “right sort of practice” entails. It is based around what has become known as purposeful practice. Purposeful practice is the gold standard for anyone who wishes to take full advantage of the remarkable adaptability of the human brain and is the fast track route to improving your poker skills.
This book will give you:
* A clear theoretical understanding of the science of purposeful practice
* Numerous techniques by which this can be adapted to improvement at poker
* Specific exercises designed to create an infallible Plan for Poker Improvement
