Hi Everyone:

Our book Hold 'em Poker for Advanced Players -- 21st Century Edition, which is on limit hold 'em, has been rewritten and expanded. The new version will be titled Hold 'em Poker for Advanced Players -- 2023 Edition. Even though the writing of the book is finished, it'll still be two to three months before the 2023 Edition is available, and when that happens, I'll post a link to the Amazon page.

However, I'm posting this now because Amazon is still selling the 21st Century Edition and if you're interested in purchasing this book, we feel that it's probably best to wait until the 2023 Edition is available.

I play it all the time.

MAKE POKER LIMIT AGAIN!

I once saw someone's hat reading that, looked like the MAGA hats.

With the increase in interest in mixed games and HORSE, updating the limit Hold em book is a great idea.
