Winning No Limit Hold 'em follows a similar tutorial path as the stud book. The book starts by mechanically teaching a very basic style of play, meant to minimize losses as the new player learns the ropes. Winning takes a player through starting hands, and then through play on the flop, turn and river — again emphasizing straight-forward, solid tight aggressive play. Following that, Winning covers the many important concepts that must shape the winning player's game — tells, trapping, bluffing, semi-bluffing, and how to change tactics based on the opponent — and how the opponent views you.

Ashley Adams, who writes the blog House of Cards, also authored the book Winning 7-card Stud.
