Introduction
An Instant Classic
Just over a year ago, I self-published the original edition of this book with the hopes it would be well received. Being a relatively unknown micro stakes poker coach, I was a bit skeptical of how well it would do in a market dominated by masterful poker pros and authors. To my amazement, it skyrocketed to the top of Amazon's poker book listings to become a #1 best seller. Just over a year later, it has amassed well over 11,000 sales and is still one of Amazon's best-selling poker books.
Expanded, Updated and Greatly Improved
Even as a best-seller, the original edition of this book wasn't without its flaws. While most readers love its brevity as an easily digestible read, geared towards math laymen like myself, some yearned for a lengthier and more comprehensive book, wanting more detailed explanations than the original book offered. Reading through numerous reviews, I took my readers suggestions to heart, and embarked on the journey of creating this extended edition of the book.
I had originally planned on briefly expanding the current content of the book, providing lengthier explanations and additional examples. The goal was to have my rough draft manuscript ready for editing within one months time, but that didnt happen. As I started reviewing and re-writing my book, I found lots of holes I wanted to plug with several additional chapters while also expanding all of the books current chapters. In the end, what I had planned on being a short, 30-day endeavor turned into a multi-month labor of love. I took a 100-page poker book and expanded it to three times the length of the original edition. This edition isnt just an expansion of the original edition, but also an update, with numerous new topics and concepts, making it a vastly improved book!
