Charley Swayne’s Swayne’s Advanced Degree in Hold’em is the poker textbook serious players cite when they want graduate-level insight into Texas Hold’em without the jargon-heavy theory. This 2009 ECW Press paperback distills the author’s years coaching pros into 423 pages of quizzes, hand breakdowns, and real-table scenarios that sharpen decision-making skills for tournaments or cash games.
Inside you’ll find practical drills covering bankroll management, player profiling, and advanced betting structures, making it a trusted reference for adult learners and card-room regulars alike. The clean, unmarked pages of this copy keep every chart and worksheet crisp for repeated study sessions, while the tight binding ensures the book lies flat on the felt when you need quick guidance between hands.
Light cover scuffing shows the volume has traveled to a few games yet remains proudly smoke-free with no dog-eared distractions. For fans of economic strategy, probability puzzles, or simply outplaying the competition, this gently worn edition offers heavyweight knowledge at a fraction of the original price.
