Lou Krieger is no stranger to anyone who reads this site, because it seems like Derek and I are constantly citing him as a useful and credible source of information on all sorts of stories.

But Lou does more than keep a great blog and kick asses at the poker table; he's also an author, and his books Hold'Em Excellence: From Beginner to Winner and its follow up More Hold'Em Excellence: A Winner for Life are extremely useful and entertaining reading for beginning to intermediate players.

Lou's most recent book, Secrets The Pros Won't Tell You About Winning Hold'Em Poker is written for players who want to make the move from recreational to serious player. It's sure to be written in Lou's accessible, entertaining, and easy to digest style.

Lou says, "Serious players are always looking for an edge. Moreover, the newer breed of poker player, those weaned on Internet poker sites and games in college dorms, are a studious breed. They're readers, computer literate, and many spend a significant amount of time harnessing their computers' capabilities to test poker theories-quite a departure from the old, back-room image of a cigar chewing gambler who never read anything that wasn't found in the racing form.

Secrets the Pros Won't Tell You About Winning Hold'em Poker aims to turn you into professional-level players while enjoying an easy and fun read. Each of the concepts and playing strategies in this book is discussed and organized as part of a few broad themes: Basic Concepts and Play, Tactics, Strategies and Ploys, Image, Money, Minimal Math, Tournament Play, Playing, and Growing as a Player."
