    All-In on Life

    By G Ellis

    7 × 10 in paperback · 54 pages

    $9.99

    Life deals you a hand every day.

    A new job. A pushy client. A "surefire" deal. A bad day that tests your temper. All-In on Life takes the lessons of Texas Hold'em and puts them to work off the table.

    You'll follow Jason, a landscaper who learns these lessons the hard way, through ten short chapters. Along the way you'll learn how to:

    • Read the people at your table before you commit
    • Play fewer, stronger hands with the "Hell Yes or Fold" rule
    • Use position, and let others make their move first
    • Spot tilt before your emotions make the call
    • Size your bets so you stay in the game
    • Change course when the turn card changes everything
    • Fold without regret and play the long game

    Every chapter ends with a "Your Move" exercise. The bonus section adds a Table Image Self-Assessment Worksheet and a Tilt Reset Card.

    You don't have to be lucky. You just have to be sharp.
