Menominee, MI (PRWEB) January 28, 2007 -- In his new book, "Mathematical Strategies to Winning Casino Poker," engineering Ph.D. and mathematician Michael Stelzer shares simple playing and betting strategies that guarantee poker players will leave both tables and tournaments as winners.

Providing a brief history of poker and basic playing strategies, Stelzer's approach does not require players to have any previous skill or experience, nor does it involve learning a complicated system or counting cards, making it practical for players of all levels of experience in both casinos and private games.

Stelzer's study of poker began as a hobby based on his extensive mathematics background. The discovery that many poker games offer players odds as favorable as 50/50 inspired Stelzer to test gaming strategies of six popular poker variations. Using computer simulation, Stelzer was able to establish strategies for determining whether or not a hand should be betted on based on desirability.

Stelzer encourages responsibility in betting and gambling, emphasizing that "Mathematical Strategies" is not a "get-rich-quick" book. However, players who follow these tested probability methods will find that they can minimize losses by folding undesirable hands while capitalizing on virtually guaranteed wins.

"Mathematical Strategies to Winning Casino Poker" is available for sale online at Amazon.com, Borders.com and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.
