What does it take to be a great poker player?

It's no secret that masters of poker think differently than ordinary people. In this truly groundbreaking audiobook, Haseeb Qureshi, retired world-class high stakes poker pro and instructor, takes you on a journey of rediscovering the game of poker from the inside out. He explores the depths of strategy, psychology, and philosophy within poker, and teaches you his uniquely scientific perspective on approaching the game.

Whether you've seen all the guides and want to take your game to the next level, or whether you're an amateur wanting to learn what it's all about, this game-changing audiobook is a must-listen. In the words of WPT World Champion David Williams, "An absolute requirement for anyone serious about poker."

A Great Lesson in Balance

If you're looking for a book on theory, odds and outs, dense strategic analysis, and colour-coded charts, this isn't the book you need. Hundreds of those manuals already exist, and a quick Google search will also uncover a trove of those tables and graphs instantly.

This book is for serious players who've already memorized the charts and are reasonably skilled. What it covers are all the gaps missing in the other books. This is a book about balance, in my opinion. As poker players, though we strive for balance in our gameplay, we often lack balance in our lives overall. It also covers how to grow as a player once it feels like you've plateaued after memorizing the discreet theory concepts.

In addition to being well written and narrated, this book has helped me recognize leaks in my practice and performance I didn't realize I had.

This will become an annual listen for me, for sure. well worth the time spent.

Deep staff. Scientifically intuitive or vice versa

Good read, comprehensive coverage, contextually well framed examples... analogies supported via history, philosophy and materials from cognitive sciences, psychology etc .
