Exploitative Play in Live Poker

How to Manipulate Your Opponents into Making Mistakes

By: Alexander Fitzgerald

Narrated by: Alexander Fitzgerald

Many poker players can make good decisions at the table with a reasonable frequency. Nevertheless, there are numerous situations where even very experienced players behave in predictable ways. These deeply-ingrained habits lead them to make mistakes. The problem is that these situations won't often arise at the table by chance - you have to make them happen. Exploitative Play in Live Poker is a ground-breaking work that teaches you how to create the circumstances where your opponents will be likely to blunder and how to exploit them when they do.

To achieve this you will need to put to one side starting-hand charts, balance, and GTO (Game Theory Optimal) play. Instead you will incorporate new concepts that may well place you outside your comfort zone. However, your style will now be forcing the other players at the table outside of their comfort zone and, unlike you, they won't know how to adapt.

Learn how to:

• Counter the auto-continuation-bettor
• Develop a powerful donk-betting strategy
• Use the overbet, the check-raise, and the three-barrel effectively

As well as being a highly successful player, Alex Fitzgerald runs a poker consultancy that serves more than 1,000 professional poker players in 60 countries. As part of this work, he has very likely trawled through more hand history databases than anyone else. This gives him a unique insight into how players really play, especially when placed under pressure and forced into unfamiliar situations.

I've listened to this book a few times, it's amazing. I recommend it to both amateur and professional poker players.

One of the best

I’ve read a lot of poker books. This tops most of them as most useful to someone’s game immediately. Alex’s narration is perfect too.

Gave me all the confidence I needed to raise to 10 or 11x in the cutoff or on the button with three limpers ahead of me. Results are what I knew they would be, strong. We play for the love of the hustle. Changing the table when you sit down by playing strong is what we do. This book is for those who love poker.
