Question by THJE: A good hold’em poker strategy book for a relative beginner?
I’m good at maths and it occurred to me now that i have a few months with nothing to do i should use this to try and make money with online poker. I’ve played with my family before, but usually with play money and not to a very high standard. I can work out the probabilities of a hand winning and stuff, but i am aware there’s a lot more to it, including analyzing the way players bet and the psychology of it, so does anyone know of a good book that can help me learn some of that stuff. Specifically, I’d like to learn how to win at low-limit tables (like .50/ or lower), and take the money off the players which i assume are quite bad who play on those tables.

So basically I want a book on limit hold’em poker strategy designed for consistently taking small amounts of money from weak players. Can anyone reccomend anything?
thank you Judas (!), do you know where I could buy that Lee Jones one in London, I’ve also heard about it and by the title it sounds fairly ideal…

Answer by JudasHero
Depends what games you’re playing exactly, but here’s what I’ve heard is good:
Super System 1 & 2 (Doyle Brunson)
David Sklansky’s Theory of Poker and Hold Em Poker (Sklansky is consider THE expert on anything poker, especially in regards to theory)
Internet Texas Hold Em (Matthew Hilger)
The Complete Book of Hold Em Poker (Gary Carson)
Hold Em Excellence: From Beginner to Winner (Lou Krieger)
Winning Low Limit Hold Em (Lee Jones; this one has been recommended to me many times since I also play low limits)

Hope that helps.

Also, just looking up strategy in general will give you a lot of great tips. There are lots of great articles out there, many by professional players, completely free.

Question by nefar: I need a good casino video poker trainer program.?
What I am looking for is a good casino poker trainer software. Something that has the same games as they do in a casino, jacks or better, deuces wild, progressive and so forth. I need one that assumes you don’t know a thing about poker — It’s for my mother that likes to hit the casino from time to time with her friends.

Question by Kyle: Jacks or Better video poker bonus game. Is it a good bet?
I was playing jacks or better video poker and where I was playing they had a bonus game after you won where you can double your win if you want. A card apears and you pick one of four cards. If the card is higher you double your win. If you lose you lse your total bet initially won. Is this a good bet? Does anyone know a stratigy for this game?

Best answer:

Answer by Jenkin
Many video poker games and slot machines are not beatable even if you follow an exact strategy. The only way to beat these games is if you are getting a casino bonus by playing them. I would try learning the strategy of Hold em Poker and playing it either online or in the casino. Good luck!

In addition to this bonus from party poker they will also give you 0 free to try the casino.

Best answer:

Answer by sayit.again
Alright, I’m not a gambler :-p But, I’ve been to the casino a few times when I was 21.

I don’t know what the bets are (maybe and above), but regarding the chips: You sit at the table, put your money on the table. During the next round, the dealer will take your money and give you your money’s worth of chips, and you begin to play.
