Pay Attention To Bet Sizing

Part 1 of Poker In Practice: Critical Concepts

About the Book

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.

About the Authors

Dusty Schmidt
Dusty Schmidt

As his poker pseudonym "leatherass" suggests, Dusty Schmidt is the ultimate No Limit grinder. He has played well over 10 million hands and won over $5 million in his 9-year career. Despite putting enough volume in to become one of the first PokerStars SuperNova Elites in 2007, he has posted some of the highest win rates in the game. He later became a member of PokerStars Team Online. In addition to crushing games as high as $25/$50, he has written 2 books (Treat Your Poker Like a Business and Don’t Listen To Phil Hellmuth) and produced hundreds of poker coaching videos. He’s also awesome at golf, but that’s a story for another day. Or you can go read the feature that Sports Illustrated did on him.

Paul Christopher Hoppe
Paul Christopher Hoppe

Well known in Limit Holdem circles by his screen name "GiantBuddha," Paul has made poker his profession since 2006. He posted outstanding win rates in all formats of mid-stakes Limit Holdem before shifting his focus to No Limit in 2014. In addition to playing poker for a living, he has written two poker books (Way of the Poker Warrior and Don’t Listen to Phil Hellmuth), produced hundreds of poker videos, and coached dozens of poker students. He also teaches martial arts and yoga, writes fiction, and shreds a little lead guitar when time permits.
