If you're interested in advancing up a level and find it easier to study the old fashioned method that is similar to a class I would recommend this is the way to go, I found that listening to a chapter of what area I was looking to improve my game, this was a great method! I wrote down the equations that you are taught in the audio book and make some scenarios for yourself to figure out when you're grasping the subject, go over it with you're equations you're taught in the book or with the equity calculator that is suggested in the book to double check you're answers. Having this way of learning I find it easier then just reading over pages to get a grasp of the concepts you need to make snap decisions during you're game based on the math, with risk/reward implied odds that you learn in you're journey you will tidy up any maniac calls that you might of been doing beforehand. You should be doing the math if upping you're game and playing seriously and this is the path I have taken myself. The narrator Joshua Alexander makes it easy listening and Altons method of writing is digestible so you don't need to worry if you are thinking that the concept of the Math is going to put you into a corner you're struggle with. I suggest this Audio book to anyone who also just enjoys playing the game as well and is interested to see how a poker player thinks beyond the basic method of position and aggression style. I have also purchased the hard copy of the book that does have everything in black and white for you to draft from as well. I say go for it and enjoy the journey.

Great method for anyone looking to advance in the world of poker.

You’d think an audio book about poker would be impossible given the need for visuals but Alton somehow pulls it off. So easy to listen to and really informative. Thanks!

Firstly, let me start out by saying the book, and audiobook are excellent in the traditional poker book sense. Information, theory, mathematics and discussion that will improve your game. As I review it, it will become clear why I found it to be more than an audiobook.

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
