Poker Book (The Mathematics of Poker by Bill Chen and Jerrod Ankenman)
8:24 PM
One of the highest level poker books currently on the market, a strong understanding of mathematics is required to get the most out of this book; for those of us that are'nt mathematically blessed, this book will be a struggle, but a fruitful struggle nevertheless. The content is'nt totally reliant on the need to understand the underlying maths behind it; although the authors provide the calculations for all mathematical problems in this book, it's not necessary to fully understand how they reach their results in order to fully understand the concepts behind the math even for topics like bankroll management and expectation; there is plenty of game theory to contend with too, special focus has been given to exploitive and optimal play. It's fair to say this book is a challenging read from all angles, but the serious Hold'em player will be required to read this, if only to keep up with the ever changing face of poker strategy.
