BEWARE OF THE RIVER
by Frank Wiese
Price ... $14.95 eBook
If you think everyone attends the WSOP to play tournaments, you’re missing one of the major reasons why it’s hard to navigate the crowds in the immense hallways at the Rio—the heavy-duty cash game action. Beware of the River! (240 pgs, $29.95) is “The Ultimate Guide for Today’s Cash Game Environment,” its subtitle. Frank Wiese, who penned the highly successful Eat Professional Poker Players Alive! focuses his ample writing talent this time around on how to destroy your opponents in no-limit hold’em cash games in this well-organized and “Been there, done that” text.
Before getting into explicit flop/turn/river strategies, Wiese does a quick review of basic concepts and gives readers a thumbnail guide to survival tactics for no-limit cash games. Starting with pre-flop strategy with when to hold’em or fold’em suggestions, he moves the action right along to the flop, turn and river, giving valid advice on how to profitably play each street when you have position over your opponents and when you don’t have it.
The illustrations are a cut above—photos of real playing cards—as are the cogent quotes from noted no-limit players, such as “Why do the pushin’ when the donkey will do the pullin’?” from Layne Flack (six WSOP bracelets). Here’s a good book written by a pro who gives solid advice that you can take to the bank.
