About this listen
Poker math is a vitally important aspect to no-limit hold'em poker, but it's often overlooked or simply not used because many poker players fear it's too difficult to learn. I'm here to tell you it is not. In fact, fundamental poker math is very easy to learn. More importantly, it can yield you a lot more profits at the poker table.
In this book, I'll teach you how to use simple math at the poker table to gain a huge skill advantage over your opponents that'll allow you to win more and lose less. First, you'll be introduced to several fundamental overarching poker concepts that apply to poker math. Then we'll begin our journey into poker math where you'll learn about fundamental poker mathematics, including probabilities and odds, pot equity, pot odds, implied odds, the rule of two and four, expected value (EV), and much more. We'll then embark on a journey of learning about important pre-flop and post-flop poker mathematical concepts, such as pre-flop all-in situations, set-mining, steal attempts, three-bet bluffing, betting with the best hand, semi-bluffing all-in, bluffs and hero calls. Lastly, you'll learn how to perform basic and intermediate expected value calculations and utilize card combinations, better known as combinatorics.
Expanded edition includes:
- New material with greatly expanded content and four new chapters
- Over 70 carefully devised practice and example poker hands
- Free enrollment into my eight-point-five hour essential poker math video training course
After listening to this book, you'll have mastered fundamental no-limit hold'em mathematics. You'll have gained a huge skill advantage over your opponents and will be able to effectively use math at the poker table to make profitable moves. Most importantly, you'll become a much better and profitable poker player!

I have both the written version and the audible book. The choice of narrator for the book is excellent. A pleasant voice that is clear and easy to understand.
The material covered in the book is comprehensive and it is probably the only book on poker math you will need for the microstakes up to small stakes. Like all of Alton's books, the concepts are clearly stated in easy to understand language and are structure logically to build upon each other. The math concepts are fully covered as are the reasons as to why they are important and how they will improve your game.
I highly recommend both the audiobook and the written version. As a bonus you will be able to enrol on his internet based poker math course, which is part of his larger microstakes poker school. I also highly recommend joining the poker school. It is excellent value for money.

I am absolutely no mathematician but the maths (or math) here is explained in a way that is understandable, easy to digest and straightforward to implement into your game. It's well-written, clear, concise and well-narrated.
An audiobook about poker? An audiobook about mathematics? How can you follow the example hands etc? Don't you just get lost? Would reading the physical copy be better? Well, that's what I thought until I gave it a go. Actually, you can listen and take notes. You can take notes, re-wind and condense your notes. You can listen while you're busy and allow some info to wash over you and then revisit it later with your notepad in hand and embed/consolidate knowledge gained from your 'listen while gardening' or 'listen while driving/washing up', whenever you did your casual listen. Actually, you can also visualise the example hands instead of seeing them written in paper. As the narrator reads them they then develop in 'real-time' in your minds eye? making the process more similar to thinking in/about real situations at the table. Your eyes can't scan ahead and give away the answer. You're more inclined to have your honest assessment of the next move in your mind when you hear the correct mathematical explanation. This is closer to genuine practise/correction than reading is, and therefore consolidates the learning process.
Furthermore, and here is the value that really makes this more than an Audiobook, it is literally more than an audiobook. Purchasing the audiobook (or using one of your Audible credits) gives you access to an online series of lectures which complement the book. These video lectures, available to watch on demand, have PowerPoint presentations, 'recorded live' explanations and analysis, and everything you would expect from a distance learning 'night-class' style course. Additionally, you get to download a copy of the lecture resources as PDF files. These can be used to scribble additional notes on, or to re-read and revisit (you can re-watch the videos too by the way). The videos even have a comments section as part of the Microgrinder pokerschool, so you have a degree of interaction and support to supplement your study of this book.
So: you have the book to listen to, take notes if you wish; a video course to go with it; lecture resources to download and read; and potential interaction with your 'tutor' or other studying peers. This is a comprehensive poker course hitting all aspects of learning styles, visual, audible, written/reading, interactive etc to really support the learning process.
You know what, if you just want a great poker book to listen to, it's that too.
More than an Audiobook, a distance learning course
