That is what Aaron Davis and Tri Nguyen [...]

When it comes to improving your game, nothing beats a good player watching you play, fixing your leaks and clearing many things up.

This is all the more true for PLO, as there is not a great deal of good resources both on the web or in the current literature; there are always forums, but the [...]

After Let There Be Range and The Pot-Limit Omaha Book – Transitioning From NLHE To PLO, here is DailyVariance’s third ebook, entitled The NLHE Workbook – Exploiting Regulars.

It was written by Tri “SlowHabit” Nguyen (who co-authored all DailyVariance books) with the help of Tom “kingsofcards” Marchese, a strong and successful high-stakes NLHE player.

The book webpage [...]

Pot-Limit Omaha — Understanding Winning Play marks the arrival of Two Plus Two Publishing on the rising PLO market, just some weeks after the publication of Jeff Hwang’s second PLO book and Rolf Slotboom’s Secrets of Short-handed Pot-Limit Omaha.

It is authored by William Jockusch, a gentleman with a passion for poker and games in general, [...]

Pot-Limit Omaha Poker — The Big Play Strategy came out in early 2008, and except from Rolf Slotboom’s Secrets of Professional Pot-Limit Omaha, there was no up-to-date Pot-Limit Omaha book on the market back then.

With the supremacy of No-Limit Hold’em, other poker variants are often confined to groups of enthusiasts or “old hands” who started playing poker long before the 2003’s boom. Unsurprisingly, most of the poker literature is devoted to NLHE, and the resource for other games remains scarce. Omaha8 is no exception, and even though Pot-Limit Omaha [...]

Up to now, most ebooks targeted the upper intermediate player who could not find up-to-date, practical and reliable material in the literature from experienced, winning players for their online game of choice. These ebooks typically cost the equivalent of several hours of coaching, and most small stakes players could not afford them. Yet, there clearly [...]

Poker ebooks have gained quite a bit of popularity in the last few months; several authors and well-known players from the poker community have announced or have already published their work. It turns out that the format has enabled skilled players to share a part of their knowledge while cutting down on the time and [...]

Good Pot-Limit Omaha books are few and far between as of this writing — in my opinion, you can even count them on one hand. Thus, each new publication is eagerly awaited by the student of the game.

But this one is special in several way. Firstly, it’s an ebook, sold directly by its author, Tri [...]
