This book fills the gap of the almost non-existent Greek literature on the most popular board game in the world! It is a technical manual that starts with the basic concepts of poker but gradually provides more and more specialized knowledge about the internationally most popular variant of the game: Texas Hold`em.

For this reason, it is aimed at both beginner players and more experienced ones. The majority of the content is dedicated to "competitive poker" - that is, the championships and tournaments played either in casinos or on the Internet, with an emphasis on the analysis of strategy in No Limit Texas Hold`em tournaments.

In this second edition, material related to new developments has been added. Some of the topics covered in the book are:

• Basic elements of poker
• Poker on the Internet
• The hands and their comparative strength
• How to play No Limit Texas Hold`em
• The basic mathematics of the game
• Basic concepts of competitive poker
• Strategy analysis of championships
• Bankroll management and security
• The differences between Poka and Texas Hold`em Poker
• English-Greek glossary of poker terms
