one of poker's most successful, respected money players on the planet reads his book in his own words in this audio CD. This is a mixture of preparation-to-survive material, an inside look at a world unto itself because only the sharpest survive to fight another day and advice from one of the best ever. Who are the casino personnel you'll eventually encounter as a pro; what percentage of the playing "community" are pros; what are stake horses; who are the wannabes; who are the hangers-on; the predators? Greenstein discusses superstition; attitude (handling issues in your life mirrors how you will play poker); survival tips ("adjustments"); what separates winners from losers; why poker is a game of personalities; why poker players "tend to be borderline compulsive and why most poker players don't have "a long term plan to improve their playing ability." For many who want to cut to the chase Chapter 11 begins the instructional phase of Greenstein's advice.Here, he warns and advises poker players who often get involved in sports betting of the dangers; discusses how to protect against cheaters; and expresses why family support and regard for your own family should be "first priority." One provocative chapter involves the controversy of who the best player in the world is and how that determination can ever be made. Greenstein examines the role of gambling in society, throughout history and how poker has taught him to analyze issues from different perspectives. Just how much mathematical ability is required to become a good player? Is it more important to be able to think logically? Can mathematics be misused at the tables? Does mastery of the concepts of game theory "separate the top players" from the rest? The book discusses money management; presents "play lessons" such as "You often play the same hand differently against different opponents or under different circumstances," and how to recognize scare cards that may allows you to bluff opponents.
