The Raiser's Edge

The book «The Raiser's Edge» is a joint work of such famous pros as Bertrand Grospellier, Lee Nelson, Tyson Streib and Tony Dunst. In this book, the experienced poker players described strategies for tournaments in the context of aggressive games.

At the start, they described key concepts of the modern tournament game, having paid particular attention to a loose-aggressive (LAG) style. Then the material is presented depending on a stage of the tournament, the situation at the table and type of opponents. For clarity, the poker players used examples of hands.

The authors analyzed the tournament game at the time of writing the book (2013), having taken into account modern techniques that have brought changes in the game, and revealed balanced strategies based on ranges.

The material in the book isn’t targeted at beginners, it’s intended for intermediate and advanced players both online and live tournaments. Most of the information is aimed at online players, but for offline fans, the poker players have added a bonus in the form of a separate application with poker tells.
