The Myth of Poker Talent: Why Anyone Can Be a Great Poker Player

“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. – Thomas Edison

The Myth of Poker Talent is a unique book and is the culmination of renowned poker trainer Alex Fitzgerald’s work with over 1000 students over a 10 year period.

Alex has discovered what makes a winning poker player and here’s the good news..

It has nothing to do with poker talent.

If you want to excel at the game you’ll need to buy this book, study Alex’s method and work hard – but you don’t need talent. Alex’s method focuses on understanding generic poker situations and not specific hands. As a highly experienced teacher, he expresses his ideas in simple, easy-to-understand language.

The Myth of Poker Talent will teach you:
A “model of poker” built from scratch
An understanding of every poker tool
Why much of what experienced players think they know is actually wrong

When the last river cards was dealt, Scott Blumstein of Brigantine, New Jersey held all the chips. Blumstein earned $8,150,000 for first place and now holds the most coveted prize in poker, the WSOP Main Event bracelet. The victory puts Blumstein in select company in poker history, placing him alongside legends of game like Johnny Moss, Stu Ungar, Johnny Chan, Carlos Mortensen, and Martin Jacobson.
After the event, Blumstein was the picture of humility. One of his first remarks in the post-tournament press conference was to thank his parents for their support, as well as friends who helped him improve his skill set and prepare for the final table.
