HOW TO DOMINATE $1 & $2 NO LIMIT HOLD'EM
by Sam O'Connor
"Dominate" is not about LIMIT hold'em.
"Dominate" is not about graphs or charts or mathematical equations.
"Dominate" is about No Limit hold'em!
"Dominate" is about power, position, image and people. As the author atates at every opportunity; "Poker is not a card game played by people. Poker is a people game played with cards."
Author Sam O'Connor is a 50 year professional poker veteran. He shares his tricks, tips and secrets with us in "Dominate". His style is bold and aggessive. Becoming the "dominator" requires guts. This book provides the tools and insights the reader needs to assume this role.
The meat in this book is found in the final couple hundred pages! It takes at least a couple of readings to absorb the basics and many, many hours of practice to acquire the skills required to play Sam's game. Speaking from experience, it's worth the investment!
While the book focuses on $1/$2 NLHE, the principles apply equally to lower and higher stakes. I have also adapted the lessons from "Dominate" to SnG's and MTT's with very good results. This book is written by a "live" player and is obviously most effective when used in a live situation where you can see the villains. Most of the meat can, however, be applied successfully to online poker.
