Re: David Grey\'s Stud section in Full Tilt Tournament Guide - semi-rev
[ QUOTE ]
Agreed. I totally hate how they advertise this as the definitive guide and then the stud section is so bad.
Will there ever be a good non-HE tournament book?
Disclaimer: I haven't read the other sections of this book yet (PLO, stud 8, etc.).

Yeh, I believe Grey's section is just deliberate crap to encourage weak/tight donks to do what they do, similar to TJ's books.
The other stud article on starting hands was extremely basic.
The razz section is pretty good. There is good material in the book.
I sort of reviewed what I have read in Books & Publication.
The section on short stack NLHE play by Phil Gordon is pretty basic. It also contains inaccuracies, like suggesting a suited connector is better than an ace or a king for a squeeze play or other steals. It also gives an example of using 88 for a stop and go, when that is about the worst possible hand to stop and go, since you only fold hands you are ahead of. I think Gordon may be more of a big name than a world class player.
