Stepping Up: The Recreational Player's Guide to Beating Casino and Internet Poker
by Randy Burgess
Customer Reviews
Great beginner to intermediate guide for online play!, December 3, 2004
Reviewer: Real Poker Advice
This book takes a different approach then your typical beginner to intermediate level guide that teaches you how to play (memorizing starting hand requirements, basic and intermediate strategies like raising for a free card, raising for value, isolating loose raisers, blind stealing, etc.). What this book does do is focus on the factors that you need to master, especially for online play where you are isolated from other players physically. The psychological aspects... the game within-the-game, etc. are factors that are magnified for online play. You are your own worst enemy (and since the same applies to your opponents), understanding theae nuances are key to a successful transition from live to online play. Good read and recommended.
