Order 484101...$14.95
In Tournament Poker and the Art of War, David Apostolico showed players how to use the strategies explored in Sun-tzu’s military manual to dramatically enhance their tournament play. Now he focuses on that other timeless masterpiece of tactical thinking—Machiavelli’s The Prince—and reveals its uncanny application not just to tournament play, but to all forms of poker. For five centuries, Machiavelli’s lessons on achieving and keeping power have inspired rulers and business leaders, and those same principles can revolutionize your game. The poker room is the perfect arena for applying Machiavelli’s strategies. At the poker table, there are no moral dilemmas. All players are equal, and all share the same goal—to win. For Machiavelli, the ends justified the means, and following his pragmatic, clear-sighted guidelines will enable you to become a smart, disciplined player who’s not afraid to use every (legal) means to get the result you want. Discover how to:

Adopt the mind-set of a powerful leader

Defend and protect your assets

Play the entire situation, not just the hand you’re holding

Take the maximum amount of chips from your opponents

Combine deception with diplomacy

Play with discipline at all times

Exploit your opponents’ vulnerabilities and punish their mistakes
