  Poker is booming. Punters love it, and it's easy to see why - no bent jockeys, no dodgy referees, no dark horses, and no inside information. Poker is the best value, straightest bet in town. Players back their own ability and their own judgement. If they are good enough, they can make money. It's as simple as that. Over time there's no luck in poker, just skill. For beginners there are step-by-step guides to the two most popular poker variants, Texas Hold'em and Omaha, with comprehensive tutorials on the games that will lead them gently through the basics, point out the pitfalls and help build up the fundamental elements of good poker strategy. For people who already play, this book can make them a better player. Whether you've ultimately set your sights on a WSOP bracelet, making a taxfree living playing online, or just want to put some swagger in your stride at your weekly social game, this book is for anyone looking to take their play to the next level.
