Default Re: Is it The Complete Guide to Winning Poker by Morehead?????

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...

Offhand, I don't know this book. If you can remember the author's name or part of the title I might have a copy.

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?

You are correct. Zadeh mentions big-bet stud high-only (5, 6 and 7 card), although what we call "big-bet" he calls "high-limit". He doesn't mention "big-bet" strategies in stud high-low as far as I can tell from a quick glance.

As an aside, IMHO Zadeh's "Winning Poker Systems" is probably the best overall poker book written before Super/System. Not a "must read" these days, but it deserves more credit than it gets.
