Matthew Janda Bio and Books
- I would like to understand what preflop strategy closer to the GTO for today or proposed in Applications of No-Limit Hold'em by Matthew Janda or Preflop Advisor - PokerSnowie. For example, let's take the SB against steal CO.
- Like my book review about “Applications of No-Limit Hold’em” by Matthew Janda. The book is old (for a poker book, as knowledge is often quickly kind of outdated), and was written in the Dark.
- I would like to understand what preflop strategy closer to the GTO for today or proposed in Applications of No-Limit Hold'em by Matthew Janda or Preflop Advisor - PokerSnowie. For example, let's take the SB against steal CO. Janda flat call =5.6% (TT-88, AQo-AJo, KQo, AJs-ATs, KQs-KJs, QJs).
Janda’s book is perfect for players with an understanding of poker looking to improve their theoretical game. Playing in a game theory optimal (GTO) fashion will be especially helpful in higher stakes games against tough competition, as Janda formulates strategies that will work against theoretically optimal opponents.
Matthew Janda has had an interest in card games his entire life, and began playing poker with friends in high school before playing online cash games in college. While originally studying business economics at UCLA, a game theory course sparked his interest in poker theory and optimal play.
After Black Friday in 2011, Matt began transitioning from playing poker to pursuing medicine. He s now a 4th year podiatry student at Samuel Merritt University and studying to be a podiatric surgeon. While he has much less time for poker now than he did in the past, discussing poker theory remains his favorite hobby as it s too enjoyable to realistically call it a job. He currently makes theory oriented videos for CardRunners and teaches math and poker theory to players from all around the world.
This is his second book for Two Plus Two Publishing LLC. His first book, Applications of No-Limit Hold em; a Guide to Understanding Theoretical Sound Poker, was well received and is considered one of the most important book in this field by many players.
