Mike Sexton's Book on the World Poker Tour

Before poker tournaments and events became televised, Mike Sexton was only known as one of the best professional poker players. Of course, such recognition was already something to be proud of. And then, he also became known as a columnist for the poker magazine "Card Player." Such recognition allowed him to be even prouder of himself. And when poker events and tournaments started to be televised, Mike Sexton has started to become even more popular as he has been recognized as the voice of poker on the television broadcasting of World Poker Tour events. Becoming a host has allowed Mike Sexton to be very knowledgeable of the World Poker Tour, allowing him to be a credible author of a book about such major poker tournament. That is the reason why the release of the poker book "World Poker Tour: Shuffle Up and Deal" has been successful. His credibility as a poker player, host and writer allowed him not to have a difficult time releasing such poker book.

The beginning of "World Poker Tour: Shuffle Up and Deal" focuses on the No Limit Texas Holdem game. The reason why Mike Sexton has decided to write about such game at the beginning of this poker book is because No Limit Texas Hold'em is known to be the game of choice for poker professionals who participate at the World Poker Tour.

The first few chapters that follow the introduction to "World Poker Tour: Shuffle Up and Deal" feature such contents as pieces of advice on poker tournaments, pieces of advice on how to handle certain situations that transpire at poker tables, tips for approaching the game of poker, an introduction to the game of poker in general, and general encouragement with regard to playing such casino game.

The pieces of advice offered by Mike Sexton in this poker book are perfect for poker players who have been watching World Poker Tour on television but do not actually have an extensive experience as far as playing in major poker tournaments is concerned. If poker players who are not really fond of watching televised World Poker Tour plan to read "World Poker Tour: Shuffle Up and Deal," we suggest them not to pursue reading such poker book. Most of the contents of this poker book are not applicable to those who do not watch televised World Poker Tour events.

The other features of "World Poker Tour: Shuffle Up and Deal" include more information on events that transpire on World Poker Tour, a bibliography of books related to the subject matter, examples of poker slang, and a glossary of poker terminologies.

"World Poker Tour: Shuffle Up and Deal" also comes with an introductory DVD that feature Lou Diamond Phillips, an American actor and poker fan.
