Treating poker like a business

[Lacon]

I have just read this book and have started reading alot of very infomation in this book. Not much strategy in this book which makes it stand out out from other books. I think a must read for any serious poker player who would like to become a pro or make serious money from poker.

I have read it and then reread it 5 times! Get something new every time, best book in my poker library of over 30 books. !

loved the book. checking with a chip is even useful at 100 and 200nl, vs the plyrs who dont auto raise blockers that is (easy enough to adjust if they do).
But the biggest gift i got from ur book is that it showed me that even tho poker was my only income for years, I was never deserving of the title 'pro' (save for a few 3month stretches or so). i just never really worked hard enough (and honestly thought that poker was a way to get away from hard work until i read what was possible).
not only did reading the book make me want to work on my game and finally treat poker as a job, it also introduced me to this gem of a coaching site to help me do just that.
Dusty, your words and example haven't exactly gotten rid of my 'just do enough' attitude but they definitely raised the bar measuring what 'enough' is. so thank you.

Hey Dusty have you got anymore books coming out soon I'm sure I heard you have another book coming out Christmas 2010. If so what's the release date and the name of the book.

Thanks

I essentially just get on every list I can (which isn't a ton at the higher staekes games where the games are less abundant) and as tehy pop up if it is a better game than at least one game I have going, I eliminate the worst game and add the better game. I use no table selection software fwiw. Most people think I use that stuff, but I don't use that or a HUD!

Hey Dusty is it true your bringing out a new book if so when will it be released and what will it be called.

Much Appreciated

It's true! We just finished working on it, and it's scheduled for release in the first week of December (hard copies Jan 2). It's called Don't Listen To Phil Hellmuth. Dusty wrote about it in his blog, here: http://www.dragthebar.com/poker-blog...#jump-post-610

Can someone clear this maybe stupid question:

About the chapter "Don't look at the cashier". Does this chapter suggest not looking at ANY results - your session stats (how many BI's won/lost), table stats or just at the cashier? I've been wondering ever since I read the book...
