TEXAS HOLD'EM POKER

 

In recent years, airing of the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour on television triggered a nationwide, full-scale gold rush explosion on the poker tables of internet and land-based casinos unprecedented in gambling history since the advent of card counting in blackjack in the 1960's. The name of the game was "Texas Hold'em Poker." Since then, casinos have up-scaled their poker rooms into posh settings fit for kings and queens, added hundreds of poker tables and rolled out the red carpet.

 

Poker is not like any of the other table games. In poker, particularly Texas Hold'em, knowledge is king. The more knowledgeable you are — not only of the game but of people, the psychology of the players at the table — the more you are going to win from the millions of unskilled, green players rushing to join the action.

 

This creates a huge opportunity for skillful players, giving you a clear-cut advantage over the many new players willing to risk their money while possessing limited knowledge and abilities. In fact, today's poker-mania environment provides an unprecedented opportunity for a KNOWLEDGE-ABLE player to be better than 90 percent of the millions of people now playing. Learn More

The LEONARD BENSON COMPANY'S TEXAS HOLD'EM VIDEO HOME STUDY COURSES consist of three manuals and videos:

Poker Course One:
INTRODUCTION TO TEXAS HOLD'EM

 

A one-hour and thirty-six minute video teaches you the fundamentals of the game and helps you get comfortable at the poker tables. The video gives you an excellent overview of the different kinds of poker and provides the fundamentals necessary to get you up and running.

 

This course comes complete with its own manual.

 

In it you learn:

 

1. Basic rules.
2. Hand rankings.
3. How play is managed.
4. Player actions.
5. Betting rounds.
6. Betting structures.
7. Card room staff, rules and etiquette.

 

For beginners who have never played poker before in an actual casino environment this "gentle introduction" helps demystify the game and gets you in and playing as fast as possible.

 

You not only learn the basic starting hands, but a simple strategy for when and how to play your first two cards.

 

You learn THE FOUR BETTING ROUNDS of Texas Hold'em:

 

1. The "pre-flop."
2. After the "flop."
3. The "turn," or "fourth street."
4. The "river," or "fifth street."

 

You will also learn such "apparently" simple yet crucial fundamentals as protecting your hand from prying eyes, table stakes, pushing bets and insurance propositions. Suddenly you will begin to see the logic behind the rules and the "tell-tale" signs of how you can win substantial money playing poker.

 

There is a monumental difference between learning how to PLAY poker and learning HOW TO WIN. This INTRODUCTION TO TEXAS HOLD'EM is intended to teach you how to play. In the other two videos of this course, LIMIT HOLD'EM and NO-LIMIT HOLD'EM, we teach you WINNING STRATEGIES.

 

Poker is not like other casino games that have "negative expectations." As a knowledgeable player you will now have a "positive winning expectation." Poker is the only game in the casino where you are not playing against the house.

Poker Course Two:
LIMIT TEXAS HOLD'EM

 

This is where you begin to attain proficiency and learn how to win. This over-one-hour video comes with its own manual and assumes you already know how to play the game.

 

In it you learn:

 

1. Poker language — Learn the jargon that allows you to more effectively communicate in the game as well as understand more about your opponents.
2. Introduction to pot odds and card odds — This is the most important math part of playing poker and is essential to winning.
3. Pre-flop strategy and starting hand requirements — Don't make the all-too-common mistake of misplaying your hand before the flop.
4. Reading the board, i.e., cards on the table — Know what the best possible hands are and learn how to interpret the community cards for the maximum edge.
5. Fit or fold post-flop strategy — Learn how to maximize your winnings and minimize losses after the flop.
6. Introduction to online play — Learn how to take advantage of the financial opportunities available online.
7. Overview of tournaments — Learn the keys to successfully playing in tournaments.

 

In this LIMIT TEXAS HOLD'EM video we get you into the ranks of the top 10% of all players. This is because of the skills you will learn that 90% of the players either don't know or don't use. Skills make the difference for the pros, and they can make the difference for you. Most professional players win two out of three sessions.

 

POKER IS A GAME OF SKILL,
NOT A GAME OF LUCK.

On the video our instructor gives you some easy drills you can do even while watching television that can improve your game dramatically! Also included in Course Two is a special section dedicated to PLAYING WINNING POKER ONLINE. In it you will find:

 

1. Advantages of online play.
2. How and why to play online and what to be cautious about.
3. A bankroll building game plan for your online play.
4. Recommended Internet Poker sites.
5. How to win online and get extra bonus money.

 

In Limit Online Poker you can start with a total bankroll as low as $200. We recommend you start small and build. We teach you the mathematically strong starting hands.

 

Online you can play two, three and even four or more games simultaneously! Why not? You're making two, three, or four times the money. Knowledgeable players can play 60, 90, 120 or more hands per hour online instead of the live action play of approximately 30 hands per hour. back to the top

Poker Course Three:
NO-LIMIT TEXAS HOLD'EM

 

No-Limit poker is the main cause of the poker fever currently sweeping the country. Because it is a game requiring a higher skill level, more money can be won. . . and lost. In fact, in the early days, all unskilled players went broke and the game literally folded until it was revitalized by television.

 

To prevent these games from busting out again, the card rooms cleverly designed a new version of No-Limit that our author calls "Low-Limit No-Limit." This structure is very different from traditional No-Limit games and should be played differently.

 

For the expert player, Low-Limit No-Limit offers the lowest fluctuations and least risk while requiring the smallest bankroll. In fact,

 

LOW-LIMIT NO-LIMIT TEXAS HOLD'EM IS THE MOST PROFITABLE POKER GAME IN EXISTENCE TODAY FOR THE KNOWLEDGEABLE PLAYER.

 

This over-one-hour NO-LIMIT TEXAS HOLD'EM video has material not covered in the Limit video. It comes with its own manual and assumes you already know how to play the game.

 

In it you learn:

 

1. Poker language, including a poker player's dictionary and nicknames.
2. The math of No-Limit. Calculating pot odds vs. the card odds (odds of making your hand). In many cases, making the correct decision is simply a matter of making these two calculations.
3. When to call and when to throw away.
4. How much to bet and when to bet.
5. The importance of correctly playing from each table position.
6. Starting hand requirements.
7. Post-flop playing strategies.
8. Introduction to online play — Learn how to take advantage of the financial opportunities available online.
9. Overview of tournaments — Learn the keys to successfully playing in tournaments.

In No-Limit your decisions are worth much more than in Limit because a player's entire stack of chips could be at risk at any time. This makes your table position more critical in No-Limit than in Limit. Also, in No-Limit you will be throwing away more hands because the penalties are so much greater. This means you are in fewer pots but you win a lot more in the hands you do play.

 

ALL OF THIS UNDERSCORES THE IMPORTANCE
OF KNOWLEDGE IN THIS EXCITING GAME OF NO-LIMIT TEXAS HOLD'EM.

 

Buy in for as little as $40.

Most No-Limit pros win four out of five sessions.

 

Many factors determine how much you can make playing poker: The size of your total bankroll (which can be as low as $200), how many hours a day you play, how many days you play, your aggressiveness and comfort zone, among others. Ultimately, however, it is your KNOWLEDGE of the game that will enable you to win consistently and steadily pull money from the tables.

 

Our TEXAS HOLD'EM POKER courses were developed by veteran poker professional Angel Largay, a published author, popular poker columnist and lecturer who resides in Las Vegas. Angel launched his poker career in Alaska during the oil boom as a young dealer for some of the biggest cash games in the country. Due to their sheer size, these games attracted some of the top players in the world. From his unique vantage point as a dealer he began to study the game and the techniques of these world-class players.

 

For over 15 years now he has quietly and successfully beaten some of the toughest games in the world. You will appreciate his superior knowledge as well as his ability to communicate it to you simply and effectively.

 

The LEONARD BENSON COMPANY TEXAS HOLD'EM VIDEO HOME STUDY COURSE is an outgrowth of a series of Poker Boot Camp workshops Angel held in Las Vegas. At the end of every workshop the participants were given evaluation handouts.

 

Here is what some of the attendees wrote:

 

It was one of the best experiences of my life. Everything was a 10+. I can't wait for my next workshop.
M. Crawford

 

I am in awe because it was such a great experience. I'm deeply grateful. Of course the instructor made it easy to learn.
J. Zillmann

 

Excellent! Couldn't be better. I would recommend people from out of state fly here and take this course. It is that worthwhile.
M. Kennicott

 

Very satisfied. I believe it would take a lifetime to learn what I picked up in this class. Angel's enthusiasm permeated the entire room. I believe it would be hard to find a better instructor.
J. Hayley

 

At the workshop I learned how much I did NOT know, even though I have played poker for over 50 years. Angel never belittled any person and gave respect to all participants.
R. Smith

 

I enjoyed learning the depth of the game of poker. Angel is a knowledgeable and professional instructor who could pass as a university professor at a respected place of higher education.
L. Cicoria

 

The excitement was contagious. Angel was fun. Excellent.
S. Teitler

 

Made me feel comfortable to go play in the casino for the first time. Angel is an excellent instructor who provides great insight.
J. Gimmellie

 

REMEMBER, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD TO MAKE MONEY AT POKER . . . YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW MORE THAN THE PEOPLE YOU'RE PLAYING AGAINST. back to the top
