In what will be the second book of poker for each author, drag the poker coaches Dusty “Leatherass” Schmidt and Paul “GiantBuddha” Hoppe joined forces to produce a title of the most interesting poker story.  Do not listen Phil Hellmuth: The correction of 50 worst songs of poker advice I ever heard.

The book is available for pre-order or a book or e-book from DustySchmidt.net, and has an arrival date of 06 December as the e-book, and January 2 for the newspaper. Schmidt once again is the publication of the book through the publisher he founded to treat your poker as 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 site.  He managed to double its revenues in the poker tables every year from 2007-2009, and has maintained a rate 1.5BB/100 impressive victory in the last 30 months.

Most of the Investors are recognizing the transformative power of payment billing and billing using social network strategies, growing to billion dollar industries.

After rumors that PayPal has been an investment of $ 16 million in Tradeshift, after a few week later a subscription billing provider Zuora announced that it has received $ 20 million in a Series C round of funding.

It is expected that industry after industry moves to the Subscription Economy: Business Enterprises and consumers to immediately buy the outright to subscription to huge libraries of products and solutions.

Many companies are rethinking their core products and value propositions as services and investing rapidly in subscription revenue models, including:

• Cloud computing is disrupting the $3.4 trillion technology industry as enterprises move to elastic compute clouds that are enabled by subscription billing’s ability to meter, price, and bill cloud services.
• App marketplaces, led by Microsoft, Google, saleforce.com, Apple, PayPal and others, are creating more opportunities for developers to offer software-as-a-service.
• The media industry recognizes it needs to monetize online content, and it requires billing to create promotions and bundles of digital and physical content that push out to multiple devices and platforms.
• Online consumer service providers are using subscriptions to innovate the pricing and packaging of premium, try-before-you-buy, and cross-sell service models that best meet consumer demand.
• Telecom and wireless technologies in WiMax, satellite, geo-location and 4G are creating a new wave of telecom services and service providers which are being enabled by subscription billing.

It’s interesting to watch how this is going to develop in Europe towards and after the 2013 e-invoicing liberalization.

Poker strategy in the world can become very complicated – especially when you get into heavy stuff based math! But sometimes the simplest ideas still reign true when it comes to poker strategy. So, to expand on this point, let’s look at a good game concept of micro-piles, which will help you build your bankroll up.

Micro Stakes Poker offers the most diverse crowd of gamers worldwide. Some people you find at the micro stakes players who dream of one day to find their way to the nosebleed tables, those who have no idea how to play poker and are willing to travel some and even high school students who are not in the legal age to play.

In any case, most micro stakes players either don’t have a large enough bankroll to play higher stakes, or they aren’t willing to risk much money in online poker. If you find yourself in either of these categories, then the following strategy will be useful.

If you’re a micro stakes player, you should try mixing your real money sessions with play money sessions. Now this might sound stupid at first because you’re already not risking much money to play in micro stakes. But on the other hand, if you are playing micro stakes poker, chances are you are playing scared since you aren’t willing to risk any money to move up limits.

Thus, instead of playing a full session of fear, why not play aggressively and without fear of meeting a half. The other half of the time can be playing for play money tables just get satisfaction from playing an entire session. You can shuffle money and real money sessions as you wish, but a good idea is to make the session fun money first and then play real money tables next.

When the average player feels he can play the video poker machines, even for the money – or even better than houses, in some cases – are ready to jump in and start playing right away.

But here’s the thing: you must execute the perfect strategy and have large funds, primarily to beat your dream home becomes reality.

First, it is quite difficult to use a perfect strategy, unless you’ve spent countless hours perfecting your video poker strategy. Second, you need a huge bankroll because it takes thousands and thousands of rotations to achieve the higher rate of pay.

Add in the fact that you go through video poker hands rather quickly, and you have to be seriously well-funded to have any chance at earning the top payout percentage.

Even if you aren’t an extremely experienced video poker player, you could be playing 500 hands or more an hour. Sure you can play for just $0.25 a spin, but you also have to take into account that you’ll be earning a much lower payout percentage than the one advertised.

For instance, if the game you are playing offers a 99.5% payout percentage, you need to win the jackpot at some point to earn this payout percentage. Assuming the jackpot doesn’t come for 70,000 hands, that’s a lot of video poker to be playing.

Getting to the point, if you are only earning 90% back on every dollar you spend until the jackpot finally comes, you’d be losing $15 an hour if six hundred $0.25 spins were made ($150 X 0.10 house edge).

Of course, this does not look much like a player well-funded, but there is someone with a bankroll of $ 300. In essence, the funds are gone after 20 hours or 12,000 spins, and it is not enough to reach the prize.

So the fact is that you need a big bankroll if you want to earn big winnings from video poker games.
