Poker Winners Are Different

Poker Winners Are DifferentThere are a large number of books on poker strategies, and most of them are quite good and have been quite useful in helping you to learn the tricks of the trade. But equally important are aspects such as your fears, your motivations, your reasons, or your responses to particular situations.

This book by Al Schoonmaker can be of great help in this regard. As a matter of fact, this new book with the title “Poker Winners Are Different” sets the bar even higher than his previous books. He identifies, as well as articulates the features of winners, as he helps you in determining whether you have those characteristic features or may cultivate them. He says, tales of poker hands are like fishing stories of the one that got away.  Gambling is a common theme in storytelling, music and movies. As a matter of fact, the most powerful aspect of the book is its “interactive” approach, which helps you in self-evaluating your attitudes as well as your game for determining whether you may indeed be a winner or not.
