Finishes: Colors & Stains
Matthew Hilger has been playing poker online successfully for the last few years. He has done well in live tournaments, 6️⃣ too. He made the money and placed 33rd in the 2004 World Series of Poker and won the 2002 New 6️⃣ Zealand Poker Championship. He started playing poker in college and improved his game while in graduate school.
When he took a 6️⃣ job with Chiquita Foods in Costa Rica, he began playing in weekly tournaments at the local casino. Little did he 6️⃣ know he played and even won against some of the best players in the world like Humberto Brenes. He started 6️⃣ to play online after he transferred to Argentina, where gambling is illegal.
From those experiences to today, he shares what he 6️⃣ has learned from playing over seven thousand hours online in his book, Internet Texas Hold'em: Winning Strategies from an Internet 6️⃣ Pro, which specifically focuses on limit Texas Hold'em. If you are thinking about playing on the internet, this is the 6️⃣ book for you.
Hilger's book is roughly broken into nine sections. During the first three, "The Introduction," "Poker Concepts," and "Starting 6️⃣ Hands," he gives a general overview about poker which is beneficial to any new player. He includes a few definitions 6️⃣ and familiarizes the reader with internet jargon. The charts and graphs he includes are easy to read and he suggests 6️⃣ printing them out and keeping them next to the computer while playing.
Hilger spends almost 100 pages discussing the flop. He 6️⃣ breaks down the concept further by discussing flopping the nuts, sets/trips, two pair, top pair/overpair, middle/bottom pairs, flush and straight 6️⃣ draws, overcards, and my favorite... trash hands.
