About the Book
People are in such a hurry these days. In poker, we're taught that patience is a virtue. While that's not the whole truth, there's a whole lot of "hurry up and wait" going on. But while we all know that it's important to wait for the right hand before getting involved, it seems that once some of our chips are in the pot, we're often still too eager to fight for them. The virtues of patience extend beyond waiting for the right hand to take action. Sometimes it's all about waiting for the right time in a hand to take action.
A lot of players don’t have the patience to wait for it. They don’t have the risk tolerance to wager their whole stack on that read. But the best players start by making a good read and finish by committing to that read. There’s no need to end the hand in a hurry. Let the inimitable Barney Stinson be your guide.
Wait for it.
About the Authors
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.
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.
