Pay Attention To Bet Sizing is Part 1 in the series Poker In Practice: Critical Concepts. Our goal with this series is to explain and explore concepts critical to beating today's tougher holdem games. In Pay Attention To Bet Sizing, we take you through several uses for different bet sizes. We also talk about what the different sizes mean coming from particular player types. But the series is called Poker In Practice because we focus on real-life hands that Dusty has played recently. We go through 10 of these hands in great detail, explaining what the bet sizing of his opponents indicates and why Dusty chose the bet sizes he did.

Please be aware that this is more of a booklet than a book. It's a little over 10,000 words. That's why it costs $4.99. A typical poker book will contain 30k to 60k words and cost much more than we are charging.

We think this is some of the best and most up-to-date written poker instruction out there. But we want to keep making it better. So if you have any compliments, complaints, or suggestions, let us know. We're always looking to improve our product, just as you should always be looking to improve your poker game.
