About this ebook

 Most books about poker are written either by experts or from an expert's point of view. The rest of the books are written for beginners on how to survive and compete against grinders at the $1-$2 or similarly low stakes no-limit (NL) tables. This book fits in neither category, for I am no expert, and this book doesn't aim to teach you to become a consistent winner at the low stakes tables. Rather, it's a book geared to give insight into one of the most frustrating types of players to have at your table: the JackAce. Some call him a maniac. Some call him a donkey. He's loose and his chips go all over the place. Often, he seems like a luckbox fish. You can't get a read on him. Since he seems to win big but also lose big with no sense of consistency, his style is largely ignored. Rather, he is discussed as a player to "be careful" around. I am a JackAce, and this book will give you insight into my style of play not because it's so awesome, but rather because it will clue you in on how to deal with someone like me at your table. It only costs a big blind or two, well worth it if you can take advantage of the advice within.

Ratings and reviews

Target: JackAce was well-written and easy to follow. The ten axioms help explain the behavior of one of the most irritating people at your table, written by someone who actually plays that way. If you've played poker, you've played with this guy at your table, and when he's luck-boxing his way to victory, it really gets under your skin. I'd recommend it to any aspiring player. When faced with a really tough call, it might help to know if you're up against a JackAce or not.

Why do people buy a book like this? Because they want to get a competitive edge in their game of poker. To that end, this book delivered. While other ebooks are longer and cheaper, they are designed to entertain and to be read once over. This book was meant to be studied and is designed to help you make better decisions with your chips when up against a donkey (or a "JackAce" as the author calls him). When you realize that the book costs less than it does to limp a couple hands with mediocre cards, you'll see why I think it's such a great value. Nice job, you JackACE
