Tj9422 Book review
I will post reviews here on books as i read them


The Poker Mindset
Essential attitudes for poker success
Author Ian Taylor & Matthew Hilger

I came across this book looking over the books on poker at the book store.
It caught my eye because the subject was more on the thinking of a poker player. something my game needed
Points of Book
    The poker mindset
    Overcoming your instincts
    bad beats and losing big pots
    Downswings

The book opened my mind with the topics other then card play. I feel this is a good book for all players from the beginner to the pro.
