Review of The Workbook from DailyVariance Publishing

As I mentioned in my past post, Try Nguyen (Slowhabit) of DailyVariance publishing was kind enough to provide me with a review copy of “The NL Workbook: Exploiting Regulars.”

This is exactly the sort of book I’ve needed, for a number of reasons. First, the majority of my play is at small-stakes (mostly 100NL, sometimes higher) at the major sites like Pokerstars and Full Tilt. At those sites and stakes, there are a lot of regulars; not as many as at mid-stakes, but even 100NL is a level where the majority of players play somewhat frequently, have reasonable stats, and can read hands the tiniest bit. Unlike microstakes, the median player is not a 72/10 fish who just wants to limp-call every hand. There is a set arsenal of plays that most players are familiar with, the so-called “standard” lines that most TAGs learn from training sites or simply from trial-and-error.


Reviewing “The Workbook – Exploiting Regulars” from DailyVariance

Recently I was in touch with Tri Nguyen of Daily Variance publishing, and he was gracious enough to offer me a review copy of their new e-book, “The No Limit Hold Em Workbook: Exploiting Regulars.”

Tri is the author of two other well-regarded ebooks on poker strategy, “Let there be range!” and “The Pot Limit Omaha Book: Transitioning from NLHE to PLO.” Tri is a successful mid- and high-stakes player whose books are well received in the online poker community, garnering praise from forum readers and the coaches at major training sites.
