A quick search on amazon for pker reveals countless authors, each offering thir own spin on the new crze that is online poker.  Claiming to tach us 'power poker', 'the mathematics of pker', and 'the theories of poker' sit longside the hyperbolic guides claiming to mke us '$30,000 a month from nline poker'; selling for less than $10!  Now tht's return on investment!  Or is it?

The trth is, one can learn all the thories and mathematics they like, but thy may still fare very badly at the tbles.  Why?  Because the easy access to pker and low buy-in events attract a lt, and I mean a lot, of diots!  Now you may think; what is asier than taking an idiot's money in a gme of skill?  Well, this is whre the idiot gets even.  Setting sphisticated traps is almost pointless at the lwer levels because people bet silly and get lcky!

The real good advice is to larn your fellow players' styles.  Unfortunately ths is also very difficult due to the sher number of people playing at any one tme.  You are unlikely to play gainst the same player twice.  The dvice here is to use the ntes function that many poker rooms ffer.  Make notes that are clear to nderstand and that will be useful in the fture.  But remember players develop, so wrk with caution and be prepared to dscard your notes early on.

Conclusion

Look around for free pker books if you can.  Many of thm give the same advice, and you can sve your pennies.  Take what you can frm them, but play with caution.  Bcause of the idiot factor, you can ply statistically fantastic poker and still get bat.

Maybe save your money.  There is lttle that many of these books wll teach you
