Re: Is it The Complete Guide to Winning Poker by Morehead?????
I lost my library of old poker books in a marital disaster, so this is from my admittedly faulty memory...
I'm not sure there is much more than a paragraph or two about big-bet stud in Morehead, if that. In fact, I may have been thinking of a similar situation taken from a spread-limit example.
Morehead is very good with the declare game, although I wish there was more discussion of simultaneous, as opposed to sequential, declarations. Morehead is a must-read for declare players.
I think the only book I've read that discussed big-bet stud was written in the late 40s--early50s by an American who was stationed in England with the Army Air Corps in WWII. I've never seen this book discussed on the internet, but an oldtimer might wander by who remembers it. Can't remember much more about it...
It's possible Zadeh mentions some big-bet stud concepts, but I'm not sure that he mentions the hi-lo game. Could somebody with a copy check?
And finally, DS's chapter on stud hi-lo in Super System should be read by big-bet stud players, especially those parts where he discusses "escapes." It's an important concept with particular relevance to the hand that was originally discussed in the stud forum.
