Summary

Many poker players can make good decisions at the table with a reasonable frequency. Nevertheless, there are numerous situations where even very experienced players behave in predictable ways. These deeply-ingrained habits lead them to make mistakes. The problem is that these situations won't often arise at the table by chance - you have to make them happen. Exploitative Play in Live Poker is a ground-breaking work that teaches you how to create the circumstances where your opponents will be likely to blunder and how to exploit them when they do. 

To achieve this you will need to put to one side starting-hand charts, balance, and GTO (Game Theory Optimal) play. Instead you will incorporate new concepts that may well place you outside your comfort zone. However, your style will now be forcing the other players at the table outside of their comfort zone and, unlike you, they won't know how to adapt. 

Learn how to:

  • Counter the auto-continuation-bettor
  • Develop a powerful donk-betting strategy
  • Use the overbet, the check-raise, and the three-barrel effectively

As well as being a highly successful player, Alex Fitzgerald runs a poker consultancy that serves more than 1,000 professional poker players in 60 countries. As part of this work, he has very likely trawled through more hand history databases than anyone else. This gives him a unique insight into how players really play, especially when placed under pressure and forced into unfamiliar situations.

Useful tips

Some useful tips to remind yourself of in here.

I find it hard to follow hand quizzes without the info written down but once you listen to a few of them you get the hand of it.

You have to take it all as Alex’s learnings and find a way of using the info in your own game. That’s why I like it. He’s providing tools and ideas but you still have to make your own moves.

It’s a good read that I’ll listen to again to keep refreshing it over and over.

A romantic tragedy about the game of poker

An exhilarating listen from beginning to end. So many valuable tips about how to change up your live poker game. The tendencies to look for and how to exploit them are backed up by some insane number crunching that Alex has done over the years.

My favourite part of the book though, was not the strategic element, or how to apply these exploits. But rather, how he candidly talks about what it takes to become a professional poker player, the sacrifices you have to make and within that dovetails his own experiences and mistakes.

He doesn’t sugarcoat, he tells it like it is. Your poker game can only be better for that

Not for very begginers and online players

Great book, listened audible at first, but because it is not really easy to understand for more or less begginers , bought paperback copy. At one point just ended up rewinding audio multiple times to fully understand what was told on recording. Don't get me wrong, book is written very well, issue is only if you are new to the game or you have been playing online for example , you will struggle with all poker terms which sometimes is thrown out one by one. Other thing is online, but that is even mentioned in book few times (at least once) , that this book is for live not online really. Because online is very hard to apply same strategy as book provides, as you still get called in many cases and people play just so much wider. Let's say on flop you bluff (you have overcards and flop is dry), and then end up fire on all 3 streets just to find out that villain had bottom pair and not even good kicker T and lower. Otherwise book really gives a lot of information, and a lot of ideas how to think and play your game, when you read (listen) it you have in most cases inside voice telling "Yeah, that make sense" "Omg, thats me actually, I'm *spoiler* fallen hero". Great book, would recomend anyone who is activly or want to play live tournament. Im currently reading it as preperation for first live game.
