FIVE P's IN A POT

About the Book

Robert Gaylord was a rocket scientist for most of his career. He says it doesn’t take rocket science to play poker. He began playing poker 45 years ago with his fellow workers in our nation’s space programs. He continued to play poker and has played in the majority of the casinos in the West. As he improved his game he decided to write a small primer to share with his friends and acquaintances. He often distributed copies of his earliest versions by email, receiving compliments. The primer has been improved steadily over the last few years; with the game changing in character. More ways to win have been added. Gaylord is a consultant since his retirement from the space business. One company he worked for as a consultant was Celsat America in Torrance, California. The CEO of that communications company recently moved to Reno, Nevada to live, following his retirement. He contacted Gaylord and asked for a copy of the Texas Hold’em Primer. He wanted to learn to play this game with his new friends and neighbors. In a conversation the other day, the former CEO said, “I can’t remember losing after I read your book!” Gaylord says, “That made me feel like I should give the book wider distribution for more beginning poker players to read and learn to win right away.”
