A Book Written by James A. McKenna About Poker Psychology
We all know that poker is a game of tactics and strategy. At the same time, poker is a game of people. We say this because it is important for poker players to understand themselves and to understand their opponents as well. This is what we call poker psychology. And even though there are countless of poker books existing in the world today, there are only a few books that talk about poker psychology. One of these few books is titled "Beyond Tells: Power Poker Psychology," by James A. McKenna.
Whenever poker players are sitting with opponents at the poker table, they always wonder that the other poker players are thinking of. It is easy to ask such question but definitely, it is one question that is difficult to answer. This is the topic that James A. McKenna attempts to discuss in the poker book "Beyond Tells: Power Poker Psychology." And to make such poker book different from other books that discuss poker psychology, James A. McKenna focuses his work on poker players who have already experienced a lot of losses.
If poker players have been wanting to examine their motivations, weaknesses, and strengths, then we believe that "Beyond Tells: Power Poker Psychology" is a poker book that can be of help to them. The contents of "Beyond Tells: Power Poker Psychology" can be readily applied by readers to themselves and at the same time, the contents of this poker book can be readily applied by readers to their opponents. This goes to show that "Beyond Tells: Power Poker Psychology" is not just a poker book that will teach readers how to understand themselves and their opponents, but it is also a poker book that will serve as a self-reflection book. James A. McKenna has been successful in helping readers improve their poker skills through this poker book.
It seems that James A. McKenna has not really written "Beyond Tells: Power Poker Psychology" to become a strategy book. More than anything else, James A. McKenna simply wants readers to be informed of how to comprehend the motivations of the players. This poker book does not really teach readers but it provides additional information to readers nonetheless. This fact could be considered by some readers as a flaw but some readers might not notice this fact too. James A. McKenna has done a great job in explaining the things being thought of by poker players while they are at the poker table.
"Beyond Tells: Power Poker Psychology" may not be the best poker book to have been written about poker psychology, but definitely, it is one of the better books ever published on such subject matter.
