Stop Losing in Holdem Tournaments

If I was going to continue to play the game of No-Limit Texas Holdem, which I
loved, I was going to have to figure out my problem myself. I analyzed my game. I
questioned my decisions, labeled my emotions, and examined my patience. Why
was I exiting each tournament when I was? There had to be identifiable reasons. I’
m intelligent; I know math, and the basic strategies. I know when to gamble, when
to play tight. What was the problem?

After weeks of scrutiny and note taking while I played, I discovered that it was a
momentary shift in my emotion due to a lack of patience that would create a
mistake. The kind of boner that would usually cripple my stack, making it hard to
recover, or just wipe me out completely. This was the root of the problem, but I
couldn’t predict when it would happen. If I could somehow eliminate my emotional
involvement, or at least reduce it, I wouldn’t have to see it coming and might
survive longer. I had to come up with a method.

I broke down my game and strategies—pre- and post-flop decisions, types of
starting hands, my chip stack versus my opponent’s, and my table position, during
each phase of a big tournament, and found out that there weren’t that many
scenarios to be overwhelming. I committed them to paper and vowed to follow
them throughout the tournament, practically removing all emotion from my
decisions. I created a “Decision Table” that illustrated every move for every kind
of hand throughout each stage. This would be my quick reference when it was
time to not fold and play. This spelled-out game plan would be my guide. I would
not rely on spur-of-the-moment decisions. This approach would not give my
emotions a chance to enter the game.

Results don’t lie. I turned my game around with that first attempt. I didn’t win or
make the final table, but I made it the fourth table (33rd place), which was my best
finish ever. My exit? I played my AK the right way, according to my game plan
(Decision Table) and lost to AJ. A bad beat, but I was pretty proud that my exit
wasn't my fault. Just bad luck, which I could deal with. I felt success. I’m an
analytical person and, to me, this is the kind of progress that feels like
accomplishment.

I’ve used this method religiously since May 9, 2007, in big poker tournaments with
buy-ins at $5-$24 (note: about 10% have 200 players or less), and my success rate
is impressive. I’ve made the top 10% (the money) in 129 of 163 tournaments, made
the final 3 tables 34 times, and made the final table 19 times. It’s anybody’s game
once you make the final table. You need breaks, luck, good cards at good times,
etc., so just getting there is a major accomplishment and satisfying. The big
money is lasting to the final three players. My record with this method: 13 times in
the top 3, with 6 second places, and 4 wins. Not bad, and at low stakes! I’m not a
professional, but if this is just a good run, it’s a better run than I could have ever
hoped.

So, yeah, add me to the list of online poker winners who now thinks he knows
everything and should write a book. Winning a tournament will have you believing
you can do anything. I’ve tried my best to describe this consistent and effective
method in my downloadable e-book, "Stop Losing in Holdem Tournaments." It works
for anyone with some No-Limit Holdem experience, who is motivated to win and
make money. Televised poker tournaments show isolated hands throughout a
tournament or the action at the final table, but they certainly don’t teach how they
got there, over several days. Tournament play changes subtly over time and your
play should as well. This e-book covers every phase for online tournaments that
can last from two to six hours.

After reading the e-book, you’ll learn how to use the Decision Table. Just line up
your type of starting hand with your current stage in the tournament. The proper
way to play the hand, according to your current chip stack and table position, is
there to follow. Couldn’t be more simple. The most effective play will be clear for
every hand through every stage, preparing you for every situation. With this kind
of immediate help, I get more chips early, maintain my stack, avoid bad beats, and
survive much longer. I make the final table one out of every nine tournaments I
enter.

Stop struggling with your continuous defeat and wasting your hard-earned
money. Don’t commit more hours to a tournament to result in pain. End the
frustration. Maybe you’ve read the long-winded strategies of the “experts,” but
mine is a condensed, 10-page quick-read, including a simple one-page Decision
Table to refer to while you play over the entire length of the tournament. It’s an
easy and fast way to turn your game around and experience success immediately.

If you haven’t experienced it, I highly recommend winning a big tournament (no
kidding). I was flying for days. On top of the world. To beat so many good players
through patience, discipline, strategy, good judgment, and (of course) luck, feels
like one of the greatest achievements of you life, each and every time. And, the
money. Oh, yeah, the money. Pretty sweet. It’s a good feeling knowing that my
“hobby” produces a lot more than it costs. I’m looking forward to seeing what
happens at higher stakes. Makes me dizzy to think about. A promising sign is that
I've noticed that this method is more successful against better players. It’s only
been tested at low stakes, of course, so we’ll see.

“Your method worked for me within an hour after I downloaded. I tried it out in a $5 tournament (544
entrants) and finished 11th, missing the final table by one. I got nervous and misplayed a mid-pair. (I
was overly excited to be in it so late.) This was my highest finish ever. I didn’t implode like usual—
using the table helped me get through my steaming. Thanks so much.”
–Troy Varney, Chicago, IL, troy_varney@yahoo.com

“I was skeptical, but I was desperate from losing a lot so I thought I might pick up a few tips. What a
difference! I guess I wasn’t on a cold streak, just a victim of my own tilting. I survived longer the first
time, and then finished in second place in my fourth tourney! I wanted to panic a few times at the final
table, but hung in there. Couldn’t believe it. What a thrill. $1438 in 4 hours.”
–D. Sheptock, Huntington, NY, dsheptock@optonline.net

“This works. Forcing patience is what I needed. Surviving tournaments requires a lot more discipline
than I have, and your way showed me how. This rocks!” –Tom Flagler, Boulder, CO,

Firstly, thanks for visiting my site.
Who the hell am I? Nobody. Just a successful
amateur poker player (only played poker in a casino
once). I know, I know, one more poker winner who
thinks he knows everything.

If you’re so good, why aren’t you playing instead of
selling your book? I’ve logged a ton of hours in front
of the monitor over the last six years and am on a
break. I will get back to it, but for now I like writing and
talking about poker instead. Need the balance.

Why am I doing this? I want to make a name for
myself as a poker writer. I realized that to do this I have
to sell something. I put a great deal of effort into
understanding, explaining, and writing my online
poker tournament method—the point-of-view of one
amateur to another (you)—and now it’s time to sell it.

There are so many books out there, how am I going
to compete? Incentives! I scoured the Web,
contacted a lot of sites, and have put together a
diversified bonus package that any reasonable and
sane person cannot turn down. This package has a
minimum value at around $180. (The 100 free
dollars is value enough. This is real and legit—see
below.) Each of the bonuses is great, will improve
your game, and is easy to download, with no
obligations or commitments. My book will bring you
great online poker tournament success too, of course,
let’s not forget that. Overall, I think I accomplished my
goal of making it impossible to resist buying my book.

And, I guarantee everything. I will give you 12
months to request a refund via PayPal, no questions
asked.

They are in the business of bringing in real
money players, and giving a portion of their
