In what will be the second poker book for each author, Drag the Bar poker coaches Dusty “Leatherass” Schmidt and Paul “GiantBuddha” Hoppe have teamed up to produce one of the most interesting poker titles in poker history: Don’t Listen To Phil Hellmuth: Correcting The 50 Worst Pieces Of Poker Advice You’ve Ever Heard.
The book is available for pre-order in either e-book form or hard-copy at DustySchmidt.net, and has an expected arrival date of December 6th for the e-book form, and Jan 2nd for the hard-copy. Once again Schmidt is publishing the book himself through the publishing company he created for Treat Your Poker Like a Business, Imagine Media LLC.
The highly anticipated follow-up to Schmidt’s Treat Your Poker Like a Business and Hoppe’s Way of the Poker Warrior saw the two team-up to produce a poker strategy book this time around. On his blog, Schmidt outlines hoe the two used each of their strengths to make the ultimate strategy book –Schmidt as the more instinctual player, and Hoppe as the math wizard.
As the title implies the text will center on debunking strategic myths about poker and showing you the correct ways to deal with different situations. The book is clearly aimed at the more aggressive cash-games that players find both online and in Brick & Mortar card-rooms, as opposed to the easy-to-beat games other books focus on.
Here is how Schmidt summed up the books contents on his blog:
“I don’t personally think it does a whole lot of good to tell people what to do with KQ on a QJ8 board against an aggressive player since poker is so dynamic and there are like thousands of boards that can run out in no limit holdem. Rather, the key is to teach people how to think about these decisions. Why do we raise flush draws out of position on one type of board texture against an aggressive player and not another? Why do we play KQ on a K74r flop for stacks against one guy and maybe even find a fold at some point in the hand vs. another opponent type? It’s all in there in this book.”
Dusty Schmidt has won over $3 million playing online poker, is a member of Team PokerStars and lead instructor at DragTheBar.com. Schmidt has maintained SuperNova Elite status since 2008, and has somehow managed to ever post a losing month at the online poker tables.
Paul Hoppe is a Limit Holdem specialist and heads the Limit Holdem coaching team at DragTheBar.com. Hoppe managed to double his income at the poker tables every year from 2007-2009, and has maintained an impressive win rate of 1.5BB/100 over the past 30 months.
