Description

"Living on the Edge" by The Doc Michael Keiner

Scope: approx. 260 pages
Hardcover binding
Language: German
The doctor and former motorcycle racer Michael Keiner describes his development into a professional poker player in an autobiographical and linguistically lively manner. Based on the various stages of his life, such as stock market speculator in the 1980s and founder and medical director of a medical laser center, the 1997 European 7-Card Stud Champion illustrates the parallels between life decisions and the way he has become a professional poker player:
- what parallels there are between life decisions and poker strategies,
- that happiness has something to do with the continuous perception of opportunities,
- the connection between key points in life and key points in poker tournaments,
- transparently his path to becoming a poker pro.
In contrast to a pure textbook or non-fiction book, the poker-specific sections use real-life examples to explain efficient playing decisions in terms of an optimized strategy. Encounters with famous international poker stars in cash games and tournaments provide a wealth of stories and anecdotes. The poker-specific section does not focus on technical game and hand analysis, but offers tips on:
- Bankroll and money management,
- Selection procedures for table selection,
- effective patterns for recognizing player types,
- Self-control and techniques to avoid "on tilt" status,
- Relation of cash games to tournaments,
- Entry aids for different poker variants (7-Card Stud, Omaha, Hi/Lo),
- Optimization of the framework conditions.
Special attention is paid to successful tournament strategies. The main topics are:
- Preparation for a tournament,
- Key point theory for small, medium and large tournaments,
- recognizing and classifying opponents,
- Phase adaptation during the course of the tournament,
- successfully building your own image,
- Techniques for avoiding showdowns.
The poker-specific section concludes with tips and advice for successfully launching a career as a poker pro.
