I bought both this book and Harrington on Hold ‘em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments. The latter book is extremely popular and rightly so, it covers in great detail everything about tournament play. But this little book by Bruce Winter is nothing short of AMAZING! He explains in simple terms how mathematically you can improve you game.
Bruce writes:
“All you have to do to accomplish a mathematically guaranteed journey to the final table is to steal the blinds (or the equivalent of same) just once in every nine hands. You don’t have to be in every pot, calling, bluffing, betting and battling your way to victory.”
If this intrigues you to read more about his unique formulas with starting hands, flops, flushes, positions and players then I highly recommend this easy and enjoyable read.

Bruce Winters strategy book, “The Next Level” provides an amazing insight into his complex understanding of Texas Hold’em Poker. The book uses simple language with `down to the point’ information making it an excellent read. His complete statistical analysis of the game is inspiring; with the results proving that the ideologies he takes with him to the poker table are effective and also profitable.
Unlike most other poker books, Bruce does not waste time talking about irrelevant hands he has experienced throughout his poker career, instead drawing conclusions from statistics, giving the reader a clear insight to the basics and complexities of probability. He encourages the reader to justify decisions based on trends and statistics, whilst also giving fundamental advice on other key aspects of the game.
Some of the information Bruce presents conflicts with the information quite commonly found in other `big name’ poker books. At first, you admire his will to take on some of poker’s biggest names, however once applying his precise mathematical theories, it is evident why Bruce has become a very successful poker player.
Since purchasing Bruce’s book, I have noticed a rapid increase in my finishing position at multi-table Hold’em events. I realized some of the bad habits I had developed, and identified problems in my game play. After taking the information from the book, and applying what I believed to be relevant to my playing style, I achieved some of my poker goals that I never really had ambitions of achieving.
The Next Level, by Bruce Winter is `well worth the read’. His vast understanding of the game will be a worthwhile addition to your poker arsenal. This book is a highly recommended purchase for beginners and advanced players alike, providing both a basic and an advanced poker strategy.
