This one makes you a winner by subtracting mistakes.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfessionals have been teaching you poker for forty years. This time a data scientist gets a turn.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am not a professional player. I make my living reading data - data science and program management, where a wrong read arrives with an invoice attached. At a poker table I am the recreational player two seats to your left on a Friday night. That combination is the whole book: I stopped trying to out-play anyone and pointed my actual profession at my own game instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI tracked every hand I played, ran the report every Sunday morning, and kept finding the same fifteen leaks at the top of the list. Small stakes are not beaten with brilliance. They are beaten by finding what the data says you keep doing wrong, and then proving the fix in the one place that cannot flatter you: your own database.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen I stopped making them. Same stake. Same hours. Same brain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBefore: \u003c\/b\u003e 98,417 hands, minus 4.8 big blinds per hundred.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAfter: \u003c\/b\u003e 98,669 hands, plus 5.8 big blinds per hundred.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe difference: \u003c\/b\u003e not one new move. Fifteen old mistakes, made rarely instead of routinely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhere the money went, by leak (big blinds per 100 hands): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflex c-bets on the wrong boards - from -3.52 to -0.82\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold-calls out of position - from -2.19 to -0.20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlop calls with no turn plan - from -1.68 to -0.43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiver hero calls - from -1.59 to -0.24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig-blind defense - from -1.44 to -0.43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTilt and stake discipline - worth more than any single one of them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book will not teach you to continuation-bet.\u003c\/b\u003e Every poker book has already taught you that, and taught it well. What no book teaches is that the player who c-bets \u003ci\u003eevery\u003c\/i\u003e flop is quietly paying for a lesson he learned correctly. The advice was right. The dose was wrong. And nobody sends you the bill for the dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFifteen chapters, each one a move you already know, applied one notch too often. Each with the rule at the top, the math behind it, the tracker data that caught me doing it, and a one-minute checklist you can read between hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe last page is the one you will actually use.\u003c\/b\u003e THE LIST is all fifteen rules condensed to fifteen lines - one page, no math, no stories. Tear it out, photograph it, keep it in your pocket. It is the whole book in the ninety seconds you have between hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho this is for: \u003c\/b\u003e you play four to twenty hours a week. You have read a strategy book or two. You still cannot quite say where the money goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho this is not for: \u003c\/b\u003e anyone chasing the top of the skill tree. Read it as the complement to any book a professional will sell you - seal the fifteen leaks first, and every book you buy afterward finally gets a chance to pay for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eYou already know enough poker to stop losing. This book is about the part you know too well.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arda Zuber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798189875182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.66d","brand":"Arda Zuber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50666031120639,"sku":"9798189875182","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/live-to-fold-another-hand-arda-zuber-9798189875182","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
