Tri asked me to do another review, this time of his newest workbook, titled "Exploiting Regulars." You can check out all his books at dailyvariance.com. Sorry for the delay on putting this up.




This book is a solid follow up to "Let There Be Range" at a fraction of the price. The primary focuses of it are in evaluating how your opponent perceives your hand and what their likely actions are going to be because of that (and what you should do vs that). The book has a very fast paced lingo that newer players may find slightly disorienting. The book targets intermediate's and expert's players who have recently experienced difficulty playing against better opponents, possibly through moving up in stakes. I would recommend this book to anyone who read "Let There Be Range" and anyone playing 1/2 that wants to make it all the way to 10/20.

At the end of the book is a very detailed exam section that has 35 questions, each with an entire page dedicated to answering and explaining each problem. I found this part of the book to be the most helpful as it brought the talked about concepts to practical application. It was also the most boring part unfortunately, but work is not supposed to be fun.

Overall while I feel the book is a good buy, it is discussing many things that I already know and apply in my daily sessions. The book helped refresh my understanding of concepts in many areas, kind of keeping me in line, which is helpful after a few losing sessions. I would give the book a B+ overall, A for information, A for practice problems, but C for revelation, and C for entertainment or captivation (not that it is suppose to be). It's kind of hard to top "Let There Be Range." I will be recommending and reviewing this book with my students in the future, and the book has inspired me to save my hand history reviews in a more detailed way, so that I can go over them in the future in a similar way to the practice problems they laid out.
