Message: [QUOTE="Munchrs, post: 1359712, member: 20797"] [b]"Treat your Poker Like a Business" (by Dusty "Leatherass" Schmidt)[/b] I just brought this new poker book that has been realesed and it is absolutely fantastic. Easily the best poker book ive ever read. We will see what changes it does to the amount of money getting off the tables and into my pocket instead of back into games that i suck at(2-7 etc.). For anyone who is actually serious about making money regularly you need to read this book. Sorry about the plug but in the last week or so I have been forced to completly change the way I think about and manage my poker as reading this book has completly altered my way of thinking. Its so simple that my biggest leaks werent how I played but how I managed my poker off the tables and mentally aswell as financially. AlienGenius im sure would say this is one of the better books he will read(assuming he reads it which is pretty likely now....:p ). Below is Copied from Dusty Schmidts site about the book: [B]ABOUT [/B][I][B]TR[/B][B]EAT YOUR POKER LIKE A BUSINESS[/B][/I] Dusty “Leatherass” Schmidt is known as the definitive “grinder,” with a legendary ability to focus during marathon online sessions. But this isn’t the ability to which he attributes his success. Instead, Schmidt says his multi-million dollar achievements are due to his ability to apply old-fashioned business concepts to the game of poker. Five years into his career, Schmidt’s resumé is legendary: Nearly 7 million hands and 10,000 hours played. Mind-blowing win rates spanning massive sample sizes. $3 million won in cash games exclusively. Never had a losing month. Unbeknownst to Schmidt, combining poker and business was revolutionary (and somewhat controversial) in a poker world fueled largely by bravado. With [I]Treat Your Poker Like A Business[/I], Schmidt teaches other online players to monetize their abilities as he did. “All of the poker books and training sites have made poker players’ games better,” Schmidt writes. “But they haven’t necessarily taught them to make money.” Schmidt teaches readers how to manage bankroll, rationalize variance, play more tables, move up in stakes, avoid tilt, create new sources of revenue, and — most importantly — become more profitable. Schmidt’s book also has a section on strategy which contains some of the most important tips in print, and places a special emphasis on the situations poker players most often find themselves in. Rather than focusing on massive pots, how to play aces, Treat Your Poker Like A Business is much more straightforward and practical. The book concentrates on scenarios that come around every few minutes, rather than the huge pots that often play themselves. The strategy section concentrates on common situations like being out of position with a small pair post-flop, facing a continuation bet and being in position with an open-ended straight draw. Just as [I]Moneyball[/I] did for baseball, [I]Treat Your Poker Like A Business[/I] is poised to have a seismic impact on how poker is played, viewed and analyzed.
