Love poker but looking for a change from endless No-Limit Hold'em?
Take up mixed games!
Mixed games are becoming more and more popular. The World Series of Poker features events such as Omaha 8-or-Better, Deuce to Seven Triple Draw, Razz, Stud High and Stud 8-or-Better - all of which are covered in detail in this book. There are also formats such as Dealer's Choice, H.O.R.S.E., and 8-game, which require expertise in many of these games.
Dylan Linde is a professional poker player and mixed games expert. In Mastering Mixed Games he gives a thorough introduction to each variant, explaining the rules and basic strategy before moving on to discuss advanced concepts. With this book you will specifically learn:
- solid pre-flop ranges and hand strategies
- how to apply generic concepts to each individual game
- how to recognise and exploit your opponents' tendencies
The basic themes of poker apply to all games and learning a new variant is, essentially, just understanding how to value new ranges in a new game.
Mastering Mixed Games will enable you to join the whole new generation of players who are exploring the weird and wonderful world of mixed game poker.
