Online poker training with Pros from Full Tilt Poker Academy
Take advantage of the Online Poker Training with the Pros from Full Tilt Poker Academy!
One very important aspect of poker is education. In order to win (more) in playing online or live poker cash games or tournaments, it is important for you to keep working on and improving your poker skills. That is why I want to encourage you to take advantage of the online poker lessons and trainings available at Full Tilt Poker Academy.
The imporance of good poker training or education just cant be emphasised enough. As you know, poker is a game of skill, which simply means the following thing:
Winning poker players wins money from losing players in the long run. Yes, losing players can still get lucky in the short run, but that luck even itself out eventually. When that happens, losing players are left only with their bad decisions and leaks in their poker game.
Losing player’s game is not profitable and the longer they play, more money they lose to winning players. These winning players make less mistakes, which is especially important in times when lady luck turns her back on them. In those times, winning players will lose much less money than weaker players.
Your primary goal in poker should therefore be to become one of the winning poker players. And this is exactly where poker education (such as training videos or audio poker books for example) comes handy:
It helps you become a winning poker player (or in case you already are a winning player: it helps you win more)!
Poker training is especially crucial in case you are just starting out with online or live poker games (like No-limit Texas Hold’em for example)! Same goes in case you are already playing poker for some time now, but are losing money in the long term.
This is simply because education is the only way you will become a winning poker player or get from losing to winning player. That is why I suggest you to visit Full Tilt Poker Academy and start working on your game as soon as possible!
You can learn anything from NL Texas Holdem to Omaha poker games from Thirty-two (32) different professional poker players, who share their winning poker strategies and tactics with you in forms of videos and podcasts!
The Poker Academy is free to join, all you need is FTP account and some time to invest in your poker education. That is it for now. If you have something to add, then please leave it in the comments below!

Gus Hansen’s Poker Book: Every Hand Revealed
I am sure you know who Gus Hansen, the Professional Poker player, is. The main focus of this blog post is therefore not about the Great Dane himself, but rather his Poker Book titled Every Hand Revealed that was first published in May 2008.
What you will find in this 370 pages long book (the only one written by this poker player up to date) is pretty much obvious from the title. To sum it up, it is the analysis of more than 300 hands that Gus played during the Aussie Millions in 2007.
The thing that makes this book especially interesting and valuable is the fact that Hansen explains to you in details the thinking and the logic behind his decision making process, which eventually lead him to become winner of the above mentioned live NL Texas Holdem Tournament.
For instance, you will find out why he bluffed certain hands and why he called large (almost uncallable) bets in other spots. Among other things, the mathematical aspects of poker and pot odds made on real examples are also discussed in this book through various different hands he played. Same goes for his competition: How he sees and treats other poker players behind his table.
Besides enormous amount of poker knowledge that is hidden in this poker book, there is another thing that makes it unique: The writting style itself! It is written in a fun and easy to understand way, even for the beginners.
Gus Hansen’s poker book Every Hand Revealed is not only worth reading, but is something that every poker player/fan should have in his library of poker books! In case you do not have it yet, you can click here to buy it on Amazon.
With that said, lets now look at the final hand from the Aussie Millions 2007 Main Event that made Gus the winner of this tournament and earned him $1.2 million prize award:
