• How often does each starting hand win against a specific hand or random hand?
• What are the odds of your opponent holding a pocket pair when he raises?
• What is the probability that an over-card will flop when you hold JJ?
• How do you determine if drawing is profitable or not?

Texas Hold’em Odds and Probabilities answers all of these questions and more. Every single decision you make at the poker table is in some way related to odds and probabilities. Whether you are deciding to bet, call, fold, raise, or even bluff, odds and probabilities are an integral part of the decision-making process.

Texas Hold’em Odds and Probabilities covers all forms of the game, including limit, no-limit, and tournament situations. This book does more than just show you how to calculate the odds – more importantly, the focus is on how to apply odds to make better decisions.

Hilger’s approach shows that you do not need to be a math wiz to be successful in poker. Simple concepts and strategies that anyone can learn will have you matching wits with the top players in no time.

Some of the topics include: raising draws for value, backdoor draws, facing all-in decisions before the flop, protecting your hand, the impact of stack sizes, and much more. In addition, the most comprehensive collection of Texas Hold’em charts and statistics ever put in print is provided as reference.

Poker is a fun game, but it is even more fun when you win. Expert players understand the simple math behind every decision they make – now you can too.

"If you want a good intro to the mathematics of poker (pot odds, outs, equity etc) this is a good choice imo."

Amazon Review 4/5 Stars
"Finally I understand the math side of the game"
"Fills in Gaps In Nearly Every Game"

Barnes & Nobles Review 4.5/5 Stars
Texas Hold'em Odds and Probabilities: Limit, No-Limit, and Tournament Strategies consistently ranks as the top selliing poker book in the brick & mortar Barnes & Noble's stores

Part Time Poker Review 8/10 Stars
"If you don’t understand basic odds calculations (pot odds, implied odds, outs and discounted outs) and need a resource that explains them slowly and carefully, this may be your book." 

Ready Bet Go Review
"Even though the math behind the game of poker is fairly simple, some people still don't understand how to derive numbers and/or how to use them in action. Matthew Hilger, author of a best-selling book on playing poker on the Internet, takes the seemingly complex subject and breaks it down into usable information. He covers limit and no limit as well as tournament situations and focuses not just on how to calculate odds but also how to apply them to make better decisions. Because he uses everyday language and very few formula, his simple concepts and strategies mean you don't have to be a wiz in math. Illustrated with charts and diagrams, the book spans the math gap to cover the needs of the beginning, intermediate and the experienced player."

Launch Poker Review
"If you want to win at poker at all, then you need to understand odds and probabilities. If you haven't figured them out already, or had a poker shark take you on as an apprentice, then you are in luck, because Matthew Hilger's book, Texas Hold 'em Odds and Probabilities: Limit, No-Limit and Tournament Strategies, is the solution to your problem."

Casino Gaming Review
"This is a book which has to be read and re-read, with salient points underlined or highlighted. It is a true, hone-your-skills stuff, for every level player and even some of the know-it-alls who need to fill in the mathematical gaps they too often ignore. Excellent stuff to help you save money, make money and sharpen your game at every level."

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."
