But it wasn’t until his first visit to Las Vegas that Lou took poker seriously. “I didn’t like Las Vegas at first. Blackjack was boring, and I knew the odds were against the players shooting dice or playing any of the other table games. Then I discovered a poker table tucked into a small corner of the Desert Inn where we were staying. I bought into a low-limit seven-card stud game and managed — with a good deal of luck — to break even. While playing stud, I noticed out of the corner of my eye another game that looked to be a lot more fun. It was Texas hold’em.
“I left the stud game, watched the hold’em game for about thirty minutes, and sat down to play. One hour and $100 later, I was hooked. I didn’t mind losing. It was the first time I played the game. I expected to lose. But I didn’t like feeling like a dummy, so I bought every book on poker I could find.
“I studied. I played. I studied and played some more. Before long I was playing and winning regularly, and I haven’t had a losing year since I began keeping records.”
In the early ’90s Lou Krieger began writing a column called On Strategy for Card Player. Aimed squarely at hold’em players, the column is chock full of advice for beginners, low-limit, and even experienced mid-limit hold’em players.
Lou is also the author of More Hold'em Excellence (also published by ConJelCo) and the co-Author of Poker for Dummies published by IDG Books.
When not writing about poker, Lou — who resides in Long Beach — can be found playing Texas hold’em in the card casinos of Southern California.
