Modern Poker Theory: Building an Unbeatable Strategy Based on GTO Principles

Product Information

One of the biggest keys to your success in poker, especially when playing at the lower limit tables, is being able to maximize your earnings versus recreational players. The major problem is the amount of errors in grammar (there is some leniency here given that English isn't the authors first language) and data tables (no leniency here, this is egregious for a book based on theory). I'm sure experienced players and astute readers will notice these when digesting the information, but a newer player might not and can therefore create a fundamentally unsound baseline. Perhaps its not as detrimental as I think it is but regardless, a math book should not have math errors. Period.

Modern Poker Theory: The Tournament Workbook is the perfect companion volume to the bestselling Modern Poker Theory, published in 2019.I know math can be terrifying. I know graphs and charts can be daunting. I know this because I myself am not one of the gifted few who are number crunching savants.

Players who play GTO will balance their range in this situation by adding some of their weakest holdings into their 4-bet bluff range as well as adding some of their premium hands in their calling range. To make correct assumptions in certain spots, a player needs to play thousands of hands against that opponent.Before watching the video, I had thought that GTO solvers are for pros and geniuses, but after watching the video, I feel like they’re useful even if you’re at an earlier stage of poker prowess. Modern Poker Theoryuses modern poker tools to develop a systematic approach to the analysis of GTO. It organizes the ideas and concepts in an intuitive manner that is totally focused to practical applications. Drawing to incomplete hands, like flushes, tends to be more valuable as draws will often get favorable pot odds and a stronger hand (rather than merely one pair) is often required to win in multi-way pots. Loose players play relatively more hands and tend to continue with weaker hands; hence they do not often fold. Tight players play relatively fewer hands and tend not to continue with weaker hands; hence they often fold.
