Treat Your Poker Like A Business 2

Dear Friends,

I can’t thank you enough for your support of my first book, Treat Your Poker Like A Business, as well as Don’t Listen To Phil Hellmuth, which I had the pleasure of co-writing with Paul Hoppe. In just 18 months, Treat Your Poker Like A Business has been published in nine languages, and reached in excess of 100,000 readers in more than 50 countries.

The book is really a response to much of the feedback you’ve given me on Treat Your Poker Like A Business. To that end, here’s some of what you’ll find in the new edtion:

*A poker business plan, which will give you a template into which you can plug figures relevant to your own game and a structure for moving forward.

*365 days to financial comfort through poker. This tells you what I’d do if I was starting my career over today, and giving you a schedule which, if followed, will provide you a great chance of adding to your personal net-worth through poker.

*Troubleshooting your poker business. I’ll give you a comprehensive overview of where poker businesses go wrong, at the table, away from the table, and between the ears.

*Part-time poker. So you don’t want to be a full-time pro … How can you play consistently winning poker, adding to your personal bottom line along the way?

*How I Study. In the first book, I advocated for your spending 20% of your poker time on studying. That’s what I do, and in this book I’ll show you exactly how that time is spent.

*A Day / A Week / A Month / A Year In The Life of Leatherass. Many of you have asked for a breakdown of how I use my time at and away from the tables. This will provide that answer.

*The Poker MBA. You’ve got your undergraduate degree — now onto the advanced subject matter: timing the market, creating economic profit, expanding the market, trends, and strengthening the poker community as a whole.

*When You Make It. This will get into how your poker cash flow fits into a larger business plan for creating your own wealth. I want in a structured and logical way to help you use poker to gain financial freedom. Much as we all love poker, we probably don’t want to be grinding 40 hours a week when we’re 65. I want to help you address the need for a long-term plan.
