Today, there are a huge number of different poker books for both beginners and professional players. Whether this product helped anyone or not.

At first glance, the appearance of many good books about poker has to some extent played into the hands of the owners of casinos and card clubs, because thanks to them, many new players have appeared in this area. And following a simple logic - more players - more rake - more profit. The appearance of many newcomers to poker is also beneficial for professional players.

After all, it is not uncommon for a person who won the first serious satellite in his life gets to a major tournament and there becomes prey for the true poker sharks.
As for mid-level players, the situation is twofold. Anyone who is constantly learning and keeping up with the poker world will increase his win rate as a result. And players who do not grow their skills remain in the shadows and eventually stop playing.

Of course, no one will deny that the poker boom has taken place all over the world Poker has become a global industry that brings fabulous profits to both organizers and players and owners of poker rooms. In addition, in the United States, the game has become absolutely legal and you can find a table in any city and state. In Russia, everything is much more complicated. Not so long ago, the game was outlawed. But Russian players are fully realizing their potential on the Internet. However, I'm off topic.

So, unfortunately for most people who are unwilling to read, learn and improve the game, these are bad times. Now many players are much better than those with whom they played a few years ago: before, newcomers entered the game and lost their stack very quickly - this meant that playing tight, it was possible to win money without any problems, and this tactic was called "old style" ...

Today, the old style of waiting for good cards is no longer viable. These people could not play hands competently from start to finish. Today, they just have to pack up and start doing their "homework" - only after fulfilling this condition, they can again find themselves at the final table.
