(From the chapter on Patience) This book is about learning Hold 'Em and how to prevail against your opponents. Here is a very important tip on how to get a leg up on these opponents.
We need to practice the skill of surviving a long absence of playable cards. In order to know how to handle deprivation, we must practice it. Everyone, yes, everyone has these famine conditions. If we are prepared for the bone-dry conditions, we will survive them better than the other players. Let them burn off chips in their frustration to get some action, any action at all. Let them moan, sigh and complain. Let us sit completely still, quiet as rocks and wait for the cards to come our way again. The cards will come. I promise.
The skill of being completely comfortable with a mere pittance of action demands quite a bit of practice. Especially if we are the kinds of people that love to get in there and mix it up.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
