Target: JackAce - Outsmart and Outplay the JackAce in No-Limit Holdem

by Hank Lancet

Most books about poker are written either by experts or from an expert’s point of view. The rest of the books are written for beginners on how to survive and compete against grinders at the $1-$2 or similarly low stakes no-limit (NL) tables. This book fits in neither category, for I am no expert, and this book doesn’t aim to teach you to become a consistent winner at the low stakes tables. Rather, it’s a book geared to give insight into one of the most frustrating types of players to have at your the JackAce. Some call him a maniac. He’s loose and his chips go all over the place. You can’t get a read on him. Since he seems to win big but also lose big with no sense of consistency, his style is largely ignored. Rather, he is discussed as a player to “be careful” around. I am a JackAce, and this book will give you insight into my style of play not because it’s so awesome, but rather because it will clue you in on how to deal with someone like me at your table. The book only costs a big blind or two, and return on investment should be quick.

About the author

I am a chemistry, physics, and engineering teacher by day. I play cards and attempt to write in the remainder of the time that I have when I am not playing with my family... which means that it's a pretty big deal when I publish something.

I just published my first book on poker strategy:
Target: JackAce - Outsmart and Outplay the JackAce in No-Limit Holdem

Incidentally, if you buy the print version on Amazon, I made it so that you can get the Kindle version for free:

This book is geared toward the amateur poker player at low stakes tables who is always thwarted by the loose "maniac". I call this maniac the JackAce. The JackAce is an underrepresented playing style in poker literature, but it is a style that I use with success. Therefore, while I myself am no poker pro, I feel comfortable writing about this particular topic and strategy as it pertains to the low stakes no limit tables.


This book takes a very different direction in my writing from my fiction works.

Please note that my fiction works are still in-progress. The fiction works will be based off of the work of my friend, Ira Jacques.
