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.

Poker Workbook: Hand Reading For Live Players Vol 1

Poker Workbook: Hand Reading For Live Players Vol 1

This is not your traditional poker book. This is a workbook that helps you test and improve your hand reading skills. Hand reading is one of the most necessarily skillsets for all NLHE players – so spending the time to get the process down pat is 100% worthwhile. Once you can assign correct ranges for your opponent on every street – it becomes a breeze to figure out when to find a big fold, when to value bet thinner, and when to fire that big bluff.

Poker Workbook: Hand Reading For Live Players is complete with 40 exercises from $1/$2 and $2/$5 live games. Each exercise guides you through the hand reading process with spots and situations you’ll actually face at the table. Understand your own ranges, your opponent’s ranges, and even range vs range spots more easily – and then start applying these concepts in your next session!

This is the full-color paperback edition written by James “SplitSuit” Sweeney with foreword written by best-selling poker author Ed Miller.
