POKER ESSAYS VOL. III: HOLD'EM AND STUD PLAYERS

This edition examines General Concepts of Playing Seven Stud and Hold’em, including examining hand rankings, pot-limit players, marginal hands, why stud players lose at hold’em (and vice versa), selecting the best games, and a look at “steaming.” In Technical Ideas, it looks at the flop, searching for starting hands, and raising with suited connectors. There’s a discussion on collusion, keeping the games honest, and cardroom problems. Hands to Talk About examines checking aces, betting for value, and over-playing the ace-queen. Many of the articles appeared previously in magazines or on the web. Indexed 270 Pages Paperbound 2004
