The Poker Party is Over by Alan N Schoonmaker
Black Friday and the recession ended a great poker party. The number of new players has plummeted, making the games much tougher. The weak players go broke, quit for other reasons, or get better. Online players switching to live games have the most pressing problems, but virtually everyone faces tougher games. This book will help you to adjust to them. Online players will learn how to switch to brick and mortar (B&M) games. B&M players will learn how to adjust to online players. All players will learn what's wrong with their poker and how to adjust to tougher games.
