Poker Strategy: come avere un vantaggio sugli avversari in tutti i tornei
by The BlokeheadIl poker potrebbe essere considerato un modo di fare “soldi facili” in quanto sembra che dipenda solamente da due fattori: la fortuna e le abilità nel bluff. Ciò che però la maggior parte delle persone non sanno, è che nel poker il successo dipende meno dalla sorte e più dalla strategia. Innanzitutto, in un gioco onesto i giocatori non hanno alcun tipo di controllo sulle carte che verranno loro distribuite. Esiste un elemento di rischio. In secondo luogo, ogni partecipante deve arrangiarsi con quello che ha. Questo necessita l’utilizzo di tattiche complicate e di abilità di gestione appropriate. Infine, è qui che inizia il gioco vero e proprio: l’arte di manipolare. È necessario prestare la massima attenzione a tutti i dettagli – dall’entità della puntata, all’immagine dell’avversario al tavolo. Per quanto queste abilità siano considerate basilari, i giocatori esperti le sfruttano per assicurarsi la vittoria. Per padroneggiarle tutte è necessaria una buona conoscenza del gioco.

Poking a Dead Frog
by Mike SacksAmy Poehler, Mel Brooks, Adam McKay, George Saunders, Bill Hader, Patton Oswalt, and many more take us deep inside the mysterious world of comedy in this fascinating, laugh-out-loud-funny book. Packed with behind-the-scenes stories--from a day in the writers' room at The Onion to why a sketch does or doesn't make it onto Saturday Night Live to how the BBC nearly erased the entire first season of Monty Python's Flying Circus--Poking a Dead Frog is a must-read for comedy buffs, writers and pop culture junkies alike. "No one generates more interesting, revealing, or entertaining interviews than Mike Sacks. Poking a Dead Frog is a classic." --Bob Odenkirk "This book is what I really look forward to in a book about humor: rich with words and humor, and funny stories with words. Thank you for your time." --Will Ferrell "These interviews go to dark depths and offer useful, applicable insight into how excellent comedy is written. If you read it, you're going to be better at writing comedy and may even wind up in a position where you can take jobs away from the younger interviewees. I specify the younger interview subjects because some of the older ones will die soon." --Rob Delaney "I wish I'd had a book like this when I was trying to break in. Also, a book on personal hygiene." --Jack Handey
Poles Apart
by Terry FallisEve of Equality, a new feminist blog, becomes an overnight sensation when a wildly popular talk show host stumbles upon it, tweets about it, and promotes it on her show. The anonymous blog is intelligent, thoughtful, and bold, brazenly taking on various injustices in the lives of women. But it's the blogger Eve's post about the controversial entrepreneur behind XY, a new chain of high-end strip clubs opening up across the country, that sets off a firestorm. In a matter of hours, the site crashes, its Twitter count jumps from a paltry 19 followers to nearly 250,000, and Eve is suddenly lauded as the new voice of modern feminism. But who, exactly, is the Eve behind Eve of Equality? Well . . . not who you might think. Meet Everett Kane, aspiring writer and fervent feminist. He writes his erudite blog in his new apartment, at his kitchen table, and his life is about to change forever. Hilarious and smart, and offering timely commentary on a subject that is flooding our headlines, newsfeeds, Twitter streams, and conversations, Poles Apart is Terry Fallis at his best, confirming his status as a king of CanLit comedy.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Polite Conversation
by Jonathan SwiftBeginning with an "expert" introduction to the perils of ill-educated discourse, Swift seeks to offer a remedy for conversational disasters. His aim: to ensure one is always equipped with the correct response, no matter the situation, and the means with which to stoke up conversation when it lapses into awkward silence. To prove his theses, he then proffers three mock dialogues, citing the drawing room as the most suitable place to display the art of elegant and polite conversation. The result is a hilarious and deeply ironic analysis that is as relevant today as when it was first conceived.
