The Thinking Poker Diaries, Volume Seven: Stories and Strategic Insights From Poker's Premier Event

They say that the day you bust out of the World Series of Poker Main Event is the most miserable of the year for any serious poker player. After cashing five times in his first six attempts at the Main Event, including three finishes in the Top 100, professional poker player, writer, and coach Andrew Brokos must wrestle with the earliest elimination of his career.

In this volume Brokos considers poker strategy and tactics with his usual insightfulness, but he also reflects on how to cope with the game's many frustrations. It's an honest and compelling glimpse of the gritty reality of the poker world, where even the best players are never as confident and self-assured as they seem.

With humor, drama, and the strategic insights for which he is famous, Brokos lays out what it takes to succeed in this unique event as well as to endure poker's emotional swings, which are at their wildest in the WSOP Main Event.

Brokos has helped thousands of poker players improve their skills with his articles, videos, and personalized coaching. He's entertained tens of thousands more with the Thinking Poker blog and podcast. The Thinking Poker Diaries bring those skills together, inviting you to share in the excitement of high stakes poker and improve your game in the process.

"I always felt a major drawback to poker-strategy books was their density and seriousness; many read like text-books. But in his Poker Diaries, Andrew combines storytelling and his personal experience with thoughts on strategy and lets the reader enjoy himself while he learns how to play tournament poker."
