Two Plus Two Pub., 1999

Still the best
Thanks to the explosion of no limit hold-em it is becoming difficult, if not impossible, to find a seven card stud game -- even in Las Vegas! In Laughlin, you'll only find it at the Colorado Belle and then rarely more than one table. It's tough being the red-headed stepchild of poker. Still, if you're lucky enough to have a stud game in your local area, or you are an online player, purchasing ...

Two Plus Two Pub., 1994

Poker Theory
How would you play if ALL the cards were face-up? Any difference, when the cards are face down is a mistake. Ditto for your opponents. Sklansky expounds this fundamental theorem in great detail. This is a must-have book.

The Psychology of Poker

Two Plus Two Pub., 2000

"The Inner Game of Poker"
Once you've read all the endlessly repetitive how-to's and studied the probability charts, starting hands, yada yada yada, this is your next step. Schoonmaker, a practicing psychologist who also plays a mean game of poker, has written a book that describes the motivations behind WHY people play poker. The various "types" he describes are those we've seen in varying degrees at every table, and his ...

Two Plus Two Pub. / Creel, 1996

Foundation booklet for Limit Hold'em
This book (more like a booklet, actually) gives a quick yet firm foundation from which one can start building his/her own Hold'em strategies. It was originally written when the single blind game was the norm then updated, but the "update" consists mostly of footnotes at various pages. Some of the concepts aren't exactly explained as well as they could have been, but they're good enough to ...

Great book
I wouldn't have written a review until I noticed the trashing of the book. It is a superb text, the best out there for beginning limit players.

High-Low-Split Poker, Seven-Card Stud and Omaha Eight-or-better for Advan (Advance Player)

Ray Zee

Two Plus Two Pub., 1992

Necessary Reading for all good O8 players
This is the book which has been read by all the Pros. If you do not read it you are at a major disadvantage. In fact at the higher limits its impossible to play well without reading the section on starting hands. O8 has so many naunces and the shorthand game is completely different from the regular game. Whilst the regular game can become very mechanical with discipline being the key criteria, ...

a very, very good beginner/intermediate book
I've got this book in my bag right now. And I've bought over 20+ poker books; a half-dozen DVDs; and plenty of poker magazines. I'm rereading it to review some of the NL cash concepts...which one reviewer ridiculed...but I thought it made alot of sense...essentially its NL short stack cash strategy...play tight and put your stack in the middle with premium or very good hands. I like that he ...

Excellent
I was constantly breaking even before getting this book on online poker sites. After reading it, I took nearly all of the guesswork out of my playstyle and recently just bought a new guitar entirely with winnings. I recommend this book to anyone who already considers themselves decent at poker and already has good intuition as to spotting how others play to determine what they have... or ...

Inside the Poker Mind: Essays on Hold 'em and General Poker Concepts

John Feeney, David Sklansky

Two Plus Two Pub., 2000

The Most Conceptual Poker Book.
I heard about Inside the Poker Mind from a few players who post at a forum I frequent, and I finally got around to purchasing it. Frankly, I have difficulty believing anybody gave this one less than 5 stars because it is a rare and excellent work. I will admit that it is not a book for beginners or even those who have yet to read Ed Miller's Small Stakes Hold `Em, but it offers extensive benefits ...

Simple and usefull
The "Fundamentals of Poker" is a great book for begginers. It gives the basic rules of different games (hold'em, omaha, omaha h/l, stud, stud 8) and the basic strategy for you to beggin at micro limit games. I'm a Hold'em player and this book helped me to start playing omaha, razz and others

money maker
I am a great fan of David Sklansky's work. I have bought several of his books. I did buy this and getting the best of it which are similar in content you may not need them both. Perhaps this one is the better of the two if I had to chose. If you can afford both get both however.

Two Plus Two Pub., 1998

The best introduction to Dealing.
I got a job as a poker dealer and had have a few errors that weren't quite covered in my "introduction course" by my employers, plus I wanted to be as professional as I could so I decided to buy this book. The overall structure of the book is somewhat confusing since you can find repeated lines all over the book, and several subjects are covered in several chapters so you can't really know all ...

Sklansky on Poker

David Sklansky

Two Plus Two Pub., 1994

Very informative book
The previous reviewer, Venice10, is right on target with a couple of statements. It IS surprising that there aren't some tables in the book which compare razz hands, according to the cards that are dead. Considering how math-based Sklansky's work is, it's strange that there aren't at least a couple of appendices at the end of the book for the more studious players. Still, this book is enough in ...

Fundamental understanding of gamling
The book gives a understanding of how gamling works. It explains the fluctation that create illusions among players. Illusions about how good they are, what card that makes a profit. If you want to be a serious poker player, this book gives you a fundamental understanding that you fail to find in other poker books.

Poker Essays, Volume III

Mason Malmuth

Two Plus Two Pub., 2001

Best in the series, maybe one of the best poker books ever.
I got this book two days ago, and have already read it twice. It came highly recommended by a winning player in my ...10/20 stud game, and I haven't been disappointed. The essays are taken from Malmuth's writings in Poker Digest and other magazines over the past few years, as with the first two volumes. I thought the first volume was excellent, and the second was very good. This is by far the ...
