Back, Books And Poker News!
Alright, back in my study after a relaxing week in Gran Canaria… As I mentioned before I left, beach holidays are not really my kind of thing. However, getting away from computer screens and catching up on some reading was great! Poker was the very last thing on my mind, and I banned myself from checking any of my business statistics too. This post is a mix, I’ll review a couple of stand out books read while away, then catch up on the poker news.

Often times a player will have a made hand but as the play develops will overplay it to the point where it goes from the made hand to what can best be considered to be a bluff. While there are certainly some valid situations where doing this is a wise move, often the player will not put enough thought into it and this therefore can turn into a bad move. The main reason why turning your hand into a bluff so often turns out badly is that as the hand develops, you may only be able to beat a bluff from your opponent, meaning that a high percentage of his or her range may be bluffs.
