Hi there!
My name is Arno, 19 years old and from Belgium, where they've raised the required age for online poker from 18 to 21 since a couple of months. Suck my ****
I've been fascinated by poker and other games ever since I was a kid and I immediately made an account on Pokerstars when I just became 18. Unfortunately they've taken this all away from me now and so I will have to wait a little more than a year before I can hit the tables again. So I decided to do some studying in the meanwhile.
Speaking about hitting the tables, I must confess that playing poker really isn't that easy. I deposited $50 a couple of times and it was very hard for me -playing the lowest stakes- to move up. Caught up in frustration and impatience I would lose my bankroll in the long run, deposit after deposit. I know: for anyone who ever wants to be a professional player, self-control is one the most important things to have. But who says I want to be a professional player someday? I like the game more because of it's elegance, this ever occuring complexity by just playing the same simple rules over and over again, and if I can win a little: hey fine! I just can't keep losing like this because that ain't fun either
So:
Given all this, what books do you suppose to be the best preparation for a very beginning player on the very lowest limits in the very game called no-limit hold'em?
I'd be delighted to hear from you,
Greetings,
Arno
