Re: Andy B\'s 4000th Post: The Book Thread to End All Book Threads
Just some comments
Roy west's book is great as a beginning book. Yes I agree there are a few minor issues such as you have mentioned. However his covereage of psychological aspects,mental preparation, bankroll and particularly hand examples (Which is all the vogue now) were ahead of their time (19I 96)
Reese's stud section I have always found to be the best concise intro to stud. In fact I think it is the best introductory book on stud and great for reference. I also found it interesting that Grrenstein relates that he found it to be the most useful.
SCSAP is to me the definitive theoretical work
Championship stud by Stern & Mcevoy is pretty good. With interesting sections on limiting your loss not win,Temptation hands (KQX spades etc.) Doorcard pairing discussion was long & detailed, Seventh st discussion was 5 long pages with plenty of details. Also another section covers Tournament Stud (One of the few books out there)
