How to Dominate $1 and $2 No Limit Hold'em - Books and Publications

Search inside...

From a perusal of the contents it looks promising.

York notes: old cash game pro gives a guide to low stakes (live, FR?) NLHE cash, mixed in with a dash of gambling stories. Looks like a 'could be dodgy, could be great' sort of book.

Any early reviews?

I'm gonna give it a try, although I figure it to be good mostly for the old time stories. Anything to occupy my mind until PNL comes out.

Pulled up a random page in Amazon...here's a few interesting sentences..

"If we want to win more pots than just the pots planned by our share of good cards, we have to have the power image. Better yet, we must be the Dominator."

"We can leave the game on time and bring home the cleaning without having our spouse's summary command bellowed across the card room."

isnt that ironic that the new pnl book might have the same symbol as this book on its cover. The king!

Yeah but unlike some of the possible covers which use the King of Hearts, this one uses the King of Clubs. I hear he likes touching little boys... just something I heard

That's not the King of Clubs, that's the King of Pop.

thanks for posting those quotes....

are you really judging a book on that first quote? is it that bad a quote?. i'm assuming you thought the quotes were bad, but i guess it's not that clear to me if you meant that.

..... he's basically saying if you're aggressive you can win pots without having strong cards. something i think mr's ivey, greenstein, negreanu etc. understand very well. you need to be somewhat careful and not go overboard. but basically you can win pots two ways (best hand, or everyone has folded)

table of contents looks interesting....

but i don't understand that the 80 page table of contents looks fairly full, but then the amazon page says the book is 416 pages. is one wrong? is the table of contents only its first page?? (most likely the latter)..... can't see how he does 340 more pages, but i guess that's good news, assuming it's true.

It's 416 ages. If you click on the little arrow alongside the page border, it will turn the page and continue the table of contents.

God, I should hook my tables up, even though I don't have that on vinyl.

Tons of other good stuff, though.

just received this book today...i sure hope the content is better than the quality of the paper (old and yellowish looking) and the quality of the print (looks like someone printed on a 9-pin dot matrix printer)...I'm sure neither of those are going to be good for the ole eyes trying to read 400+ pages like that...

Thank you. That would have driven me mad otherwise, trying to work out what old hip hop tune it was. Would never have turned my mind to early 90s techno.

Thank you for posting about the bad print editions that are being shipped by the printing company.

I’m all over the publisher; we went to the mat today. Evidently there is a glitch in the printing procedure and they are correcting it. Meanwhile, those who have received a book with faint print are encouraged to return the book for one that can be easier read.

I am very sorry for the inconvenience. The publishers tell me they are too. All new orders should be up to standard.

Props to you for posting here, Sam. But just so you know, this forum isn't known for pulling punches when it comes to reviewing poker books. You kind of put your head in the lion's mouth by "outing" yourself.

According to UPS, I'll be recieving my copy early next week. I'll let everyone know what I think after I've finished reading it. Sam, feel free to let me know what you think of my review.
