So often in Texas hold'em poker, you just don't know where you stand. Do you have the best hand? The worst? Within the great gray area between the stone nuts and a pure bluff it's often hard to tell. But take heart, because in this innovative new poker single, Annie Duke and John Vorhaus dive deep into the murky decision space of the middle zone, show you what it is, how to avoid it, and what to do if, alas, you step in something sticky.

In The Middle Zone, you'll learn...

• How to forecast your prospects for a hand

• How to sidestep pot-size mistakes

• How to win pots that don't belong to you

• How to turn accidental bluffs into intentional ones

The middle zone is one of hold'em's most common decision spaces – and one of its most commonly misplayed. But it doesn't have to be that way. Just read and study The Middle Zone and you'll walk away with a simple, reliable strategy for navigating this tricky space effectively on hand after hand, and turning a cloudy poker situation into a clear – and clearly profitable – one instead.
