What "secret" separates top poker players from poker wannabes?
Is it zen-like mind-reading skills, a computer-like brain or thousands of hours of play? No. It is a series of established approaches and behaviors that enables these experts to bring their "A" game to the table session after session, regardless of short-term results.
To avoid poker tilt and control your emotions, The Poker Mindset gives you seven core attitudes and concepts that ensure you have the optimal emotional, psychological, and behavioral framework for playing superior poker.
The Poker Mindset deeply explores vital topics that most poker books only touch upon:
- Poker Tilt: What it really is, why and when you are most prone to it, and how to avoid poker tilt.
- Bankroll: A complete examination of bankroll management from a technical, but more importantly, from a psychological and emotional viewpoint.
- Opponents: How to determine your competitors' mental and emotional processes so that you can dominate, out think and outplay them.
- Downswings: Every poker player experiences them, but you will truly understand and be armed against low ebbs when they occur.
- Bad Beats: The Poker Mindset will enable you to overcome the trauma of bad beats and losing big pots to control poker tilt.
Poker is a fun game, but it is even more fun when you win. The Poker Mindset may be the most valuable poker book you will ever read. Embrace its concepts and you can overcome the unseen obstacles that are limiting your success at the table.
When you make the Poker Mindset your mindset, you will take control of your game and walk away a winner.

Amazon Review 4.5 Stars
"Excellent analysis of the psychology of successful poker play"
Poker Junkie Review
"This poker book will not teach you anything new about direct poker strategy. It may, however, teach you how to think about the game differently. If you know all the moves, understand the math, have the experience and are still not getting the results you want, this change of mindset just might make all the difference."
OnlinePoker.net Review
"The poker book should be considered an essential addition to any poker players collection, regardless of skill levels, and acts as a poignant reminder that as players we should not allow ourselves to become complacent and must be constantly striving to understand and improve our approach to the game."
BetFair Poker Review
" In my opinion, it will not only be recreational players who would benefit from reading this poker book, even professional players who battle it out at the highest stakes could and should benefit from at least one of the chapters. With that in mind I can honestly say that this book, The Poker Mindset, is a must own book for any poker player."
Texas Holdem Forums Review
"I believe if anyone can absorb the attitudes of The Poker Mindset,
whilst striving to improve their game they will win money and have fun
doing it."
It's not perfect. Out of 5, I'd give it 5, since 4 out of 5 didn't seem enough.
A very good book.
Poker Pages Review
"The Taylor/Hilger book allows the reader to see a situation from many angles, including angles that most beginners are unaware even exist. The advice is sound, rational, and on point. If you are going to add a new poker book to your library, pick up a copy of "The Poker Mindset" and consider it another piece of the puzzle found."
UK Poker News Review
"I knew this poker book was going to be good, and it really really is. I disagree with one thing Ian and Matthew say, and that is their opening statement that this book may be the second most important book a player reads. I think this book is the most important poker book out there for any poker player who has read a lot of books, done quite well and thinks they know it all (the category I come under). A lot of what you will read you will know already but have never seen written down and a lot more is refreshingly new and innovative.
You will read it more than once"
Launch Poker Review
"If you consider yourself dedicated to making yourself the best poker player possible this is a book you may not want to overlook. Ian Taylor and Matthew Hilger have compiled a highly detailed look at what key mental attitudes either make or break poker players. Here they share the "secrets that separate top players from the wannabes" and set out to show you the seven basic elements to bring you to a professional level of play."
Little Woods Poker Review
"The Poker Mindset is full of innovative thinking: it deals with a host of matters from how you should understand your opponents’ motives to life away from the poker table. If you think you know everything there is to know about poker, this is an ideal book to remind you that actually, no-one does."
