The Game Plan: How Casual Players Become Threats in No Limit Hold ’Em Tournaments

“Poker is the only game I know where you can read one book and then hold your own against the best players in the world. The Game Plan is that book.” – Ed Miller, author of nine poker books including The Course

Drawing from the most important strategic ideas in poker and distilling them into a rubric anyone can follow, The Game Plan allows home game players and other amateurs to vastly improve their tournament poker in weeks or even days. In addition to listing the rules such players should abide, the book also features 14 World Series of Poker Main Event hands from Matt’s playing history, and shows how The Game Plan would’ve dealt with them. This book offers its readers the quickest route to poker competence.

Matt Matros has won three World Series of Poker championship bracelets. He is also the author of the strategy memoir The Making of a Poker Player, along with more than 100 columns for CardPlayer magazine.

“Matt’s advice is very strategic, allowing aspiring players to focus on building a foundation for their poker success. Matt uses lots of quizzes and examples to illustrate concepts, and he is also passionate about language. It shows in the fluid, no-nonsense prose style.” -Jennifer Shahade, chess champion & author
