Description
Book Introduction
Don't sit down at a Hold'em table without reading this book first. A book that teaches you the fundamentals of poker you need to know before sitting down at a Hold'em table. The strategy book of Kim Ji-woon, Korea's best poker player who reached the WSOP final table. A practical solution recommended to all beginners in this era who are just taking their first steps in Hold'em. Have you heard of the gentlemanly game of Hold'em? With Hold'em's popularity skyrocketing, global sports channels like ESPN and FOX SPORTS are competing to broadcast Hold'em games. There is also talk that it will soon be selected as a demonstration sport for the Olympic Games. Hold'em is garnering attention as the 21st century's greatest mind sport, with astronomical prize money awarded to the winner of the World Series of Poker (WSOP), which attracts poker players from all over the world every year. In line with this, author Kim Ji-woon lamented the reality that there is not a single proper introductory book written by a verified expert (poker player) in Korea, and prepared this book over the course of two years. The author, who currently leads an online hold'em game company, has compiled this book with probabilities, statistics, and strategies proven and proven at actual tables, among the practical know-how he has gained from various international tournaments, including the WSOP, APT, and WPT. Whether you're a beginner just getting into Hold'em, a player feeling in a slump, or even a seasoned veteran with years of experience at the tables, this book will provide you with valuable insights. In particular, the Hold'em story, which unfolds through characters like a novel, will provide an excitement and fun that cannot be found in a dense theory book. Each chapter covers the basic paradigm and structure of the Hold'em table, which no one teaches you, from the detailed history of when and how the game of Hold'em was created to the basic rules, hand rankings, and terminology of Hold'em. This book is a reference book that can be applied immediately in real-life situations, as it contains starting hand charts and basic probability calculation tables that even beginners can easily follow. In addition, it introduces the story behind the creation of detailed Hold'em terminology and hand rankings, strategies such as odds calculation, equity, hand range, and bluffing, and it also includes introductions to Hold'em pubs and casinos in nearby Southeast Asia where you can easily enjoy Hold'em. To prevent the book from ending up as a theoretical explanation, examples of probability calculations, such as math practice problems or solutions to baduk moves, are also included. |

Into the book
-“There is a famous syllogism among Hold’em players about the importance of position.
Position is information, information is power, therefore position is power.
“How is it? Do you feel its importance?” I nodded.
Finding your place? Perhaps there comes a time in everyone's life when they find their place.
And once you grab a seat, it is not a fixed seat.
There are no reserved seats in life.
At any time, it is given to others, pushed out, and moved to a new position.
It takes both the ability to be where you need to be and the courage to step down when you need to step down.
There is an old saying that 'place makes the man.'
Nothing applies to Hold'em as much as that saying.
-“There are only two types of cards on the turn and river.
“Bridge and blank.” “Isn’t bridge a bridge and blank a blank?” “Yes.
A bridge is a card that connects cards that are spread out like a bridge.
On the other hand, a blank is a meaningless card that has no effect on your hand.
There's a saying in Hold'em that "the difference between a bridge and a blank is one point."
My bridge could be my opponent's blank, and my blank could be my opponent's bridge.
Amarillo Slim (Thomas Preston), the great American poker player who was one of the legendary seven and won the 1972 World Tournament, left behind the famous saying, "No river, no fish."
That means there are a lot of fish that wait until the river and then give up the entire board.
I think the more beginners are, the more they get hung up on the river card.
'I guess one will fall here.' But world-class poker players play as if there is no river card.
Otherwise you'll get a bad beat."
-Calculating odds is the basis of Hold'em.
This is why Hold'em is called a mind sport.
In Hold'em, probability is alpha and omega.
A player sitting at a Hold'em table who cannot understand the probabilities of each hand is like a Go player who cannot read the moves of the stones, or a general who goes into battle bare-handed and without any weapons.
Therefore, anyone who is new to Hold'em must be familiar with the basic hand probabilities.
-When both players in a heads-up situation are all-in, it's like two beasts fighting to the death for the top spot.
A battle where the winner takes all.
The winner commands the jungle and monopolizes everything, but the loser must leave alone with nothing to gain.
In 2003, Chris Moneyaker, a 29-year-old accountant who appeared out of thin air, found himself in the same situation as now, playing heads-up against professional poker player Sammy Farah in the final round.
Both players holding flush draws and waiting for the last card are out of their calculations on the river.
The two people who crossed the river of death, the bridge to retreat was already broken.
We must move forward no matter what.

Publisher's Review
A practical solution for Texas Hold'em that will put an end to the practice of taking other people's chips.
― The most basic and therefore most overlooked fundamental Hold'em strategy
Called the last mind sport of the 21st century, Hold'em is considered the second most popular televised sport in the United States, after American football.
Winning the WSOP tournament, which is considered the best hold'em festival among poker players, can result in a prize pool of nearly 10 billion won in our country's currency.
This is why chess and Go players, as well as e-sports gamers, are moving into the Hold'em battleground.
However, in Korea, where casinos are illegal, many people who are new to Hold'em are having a hard time because there is no way to learn Hold'em directly and experience it in real life.
The author, who had always felt sorry about this situation, decided to write a 'super simple introduction to Hold'em' that anyone could easily read and understand in an hour or two.
The result is this book!
― As you read the story of two young men and women struggling in Hold'em, you will soon become a Hold'em master.
This book is a narrative that introduces the principles of Hold'em through two main characters.
The author, who did not want to miss out on the fun while publishing a full-fledged Hold'em theory book, came up with a storyline in which he introduces his alter ego, Manager Kim, and learns Hold'em through professional poker player Choi Seo-hyeon.
As readers empathize with Manager Kim and read each page, they will feel as if they are learning Hold'em directly from an expert.
The author explains the Hold'em theory, which can easily become rigid, in an easy-to-understand way by interspersing it with examples of success and failure that he personally experienced.
Additionally, we have made it possible to gain a general understanding of Hold'em by just looking at the bits of common sense and diagrams here and there.
― A Hold'em introductory book written by Kim Ji-woon, the professional poker player with the highest record in South Korea's WSOP history.
This book is an introductory guide to Hold'em, written by Korea's top Hold'em expert while traveling around the world for two years.
Author Kim Ji-woon is the only Korean professional poker player to have advanced to Day 6 of the WSOP Main Event.
This book, written by him, contains principles he learned from his own experience at tournament tables, such as why position is important in Hold'em, how to spot suckers at the table, and how to read your opponent's hand range.
Unlike books written by anonymous authors with no experience at some Hold'em tables, the advice of an author who is currently an active poker player feels much more realistic.
If you want to learn Hold'em systematically, I think this book will be an excellent textbook.
