Tri “slow habit” Nguyen is a professional poker player and author. Now published his new book. It is based on the concept of Barry Greenstein’s Ace on the River and developed it further for the new generation of professional players. A first impression.
How I made my first one million from poker is the title of the book published these days. This results from Nguyen that poker players often underestimate how important physical and mental health, and how success depends on the table.
Nguyen’s central thesis is that the players themselves are at the highest level yet successful exhibit, terms of game skills all have similar quality, and therefore the profit depends on how good a player his life, Tilt and thus themselves under control.
“If I had to express as a percentage, I would say that you should use about 60% of his time on the mental component,” Nguyen told PokerListings.
“When you have successfully learned how to read hands, playing the flop and the turn and become even a successful small stakes players, one must begin to devote the mental elements of the game more time.”
“You play better, learn more and have much more energy to improve your own game, if you feel good inside,” continued Nguyen.
The book is a collection of essays about the many different facets of professional poker. On individual hand analysis or specific strategy concepts lays Nguyen little value. Instead, his distinction between learning the game on one side and as a successful professional life is on the other side particularly important.
Each section contains an accompanying questionnaire as an attachment, with which one can easily implement the theses executed in practice.
Although the book deals with more general concepts than the question of how to play AK in the blinds or when to bluff at best on the river, it would be unfair to say that there is no strategic advice.
Rather than formulate specific strategies to make the reader at the present time a successful performer, the author attempts to show how to get the passion for the theoretical study of life and can adapt the implementation of personal strategic concept at the upcoming development of the game .
And as if the connection to Ace on the River still not clear enough, Barry Greenstein also the preface for How I made my first one million from poker wrote: “My concept for today’s Tri Spielergenration reworked and developed. He understands it, easy to understand and write in the language of the modern player. ”
An excerpt from the book shows what Greenstein trying to say:
“By comparison, if I tell you that you should stop playing when you are on tilt, which is about the same as if I exhort you to make intelligent decisions while you hang out drunk at a strip club. It does not work easily. Instead, you should check your credit card and leave your wallet at home, while you are still sober. Just take your passport and so much money to spend as you wish, and think about the sum, if you can think clearly. If you are drunk and dancing around only once every half-naked women, you will not remember this advice. Trust me, I know whereof I speak. ”
The book is primarily aimed at poker professionals who want to educate themselves and improve in their profession, but it’s interesting for all other players who want to expand their knowledge of the game.
