As a noted authority on Risk, I'm sure he has the poker chops to write a scintillating tome.

He is the first place finisher in many No Limit Hold'em tournaments and the lucky winner of a number of Jackpots. Do not question Mr. Banker's skill! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

From the amazon blurb:

[ QUOTE ]
While writing, Rock Banker never turned down opportunities to improve upon the game. In addition to Risk formulas that are new to Gambling Science, he also discovered and explained the Dual Rank nature of Ace and introduced the Steam-Dependency, a phenomenon that converts a mathematically independent event (of a poker hand) into a dependant process.

I assume this is what he based his univerisity thesis on. Gambling Science must owe him a lot :P

The second book on poker I ever read, and while it was a mildly entertaining read, I kept waiting for the bit where it told me how to play, rather than concentrate, switch off the tv, don't multitable, take notes etc

Couldn't wait to get it listed on ebay.

This was one of the first books I bought too. What a load of crap.

If you flop a set on board of w/ 2 clubs, do not move all-in ever because you might get called and the opponent has 2 chances to make his flush and beat you

[/ QUOTE ]

Does this mean it is ok to move in if there are 2 hearts, diamonds, or spades??

I calculated the odds on this using Rock Banker's patented "Risk" formula, and I believe I have your answer: Invade Poland.

I would think that a good player would actually owe more than would be owed to him.

It is nice to see these PRO writers finally sharing their secret winning strategies with us. No wonder not everyone is a professional, it would have taken me a LIFETIME to stumble upon these discoveries.
