Welcome to Lou Krieger Online

Poker has fascinated me since I first learned to play at age seven. Sharing what I've learned about poker in my books and magazine columns has been my passion, my avocation and my career.

Lou Krieger Online offers me the opportunity to introduce an entirely new audience - people connected through the Internet - to poker. While most of the articles are targeted to beginning and intermediate players, advanced players also will benefit from them. New articles will be added on a regular basis, as well as announcements about various poker events, so please check back often as you surf the Web. My books are available for purchase here through convenient links to Amazon.com and ConJelCo.com

I welcome your comments and questions. While I may not be able to get back to you immediately, I do answer all correspondence.

I will be introducing a mailing list in the near future. From time to time I'll be sending out information about activities you maybe interested in.

Thanks for visiting Lou Krieger Online. Enjoy surfing and return often!

Keep flopping aces,

Lou Krieger

  • I’ve Been Busy—Three New Books In One Year

    Since Secrets the Pros Won't Tell You About Winning Hold'em Poker was released March 1, 2006, I’ve been busy, writing three new books in just about a year.

    Sheree Bykofsky and I were really happy with our collaboration on Secrets, so we decided to team up again, and Kensington Publishing released The Rules of Poker: Essentials of Every Game in December 2006. This is a rules book with a difference. We added lots of anecdotal information, so that someone has access not only to a very comprehensive set of rules, but Interpretation Notes, giving them insight into how the rule can be applied in game situations, along with more information about the intent and spirit of the rules.

    Sheree and I teamed up with Kensington Publishing again, and with a lot of help from Ephraim “Sammy” Rosenbaum, The Portable Poker Pro was published in March 2007. This really is a portable book. It’s pocket-sized and designed to provide a lot of information in 150 pages that’s aimed squarely at beginning hold’em players.

    In June 2007, 52 Great Poker Tips was published by Batsford, a UK subsidiary of Anova Books. It contains a bit of primer information for readers who may never have played a game of poker before, but the vast majority of the book comprises tips for poker players who are familiar with the game and looking for tools they can use to raise their game to a higher level.

    If you click on the 'Books' tab above, you’ll find more information about each of my 11 books. For each book, there’s a link for contents and more information. Each of those links contains enough information to give you an idea of the books approach, content, and will help you determine whether this book was written with you in mind.


    ePokerSchool.com, an Online Poker Learning Center

    Since finishing three books in one year, I’ve been providing content for epokerschool.com, an online poker learning facility. They are a very content-rich site and offer professional coaching in addition to written lessons. What’s more, they’ll give you $150 to get your poker career up and running. The site is convinced that they can turn you into a winning player and are willing to back their commitment with real dollars. The only catch is that they cannot fund the online play of US-based players, so you’ll have to wait until UIGEA is repealed in the States or until one of the many pending bills in Congress grants online poker an exemption.

    Even if you are a US-based player, that shouldn’t stop you from checking out the site. You can find it at www.epokerschool.com.
