If this is your first exposure to 7 card stud then this book will make your head hurt.
I would suggest that you start with a more introductory text ie. West (see stud forum FAQ for a list of books) then get some low buyin experience. Once you have some experience then the information in Zee's book will be easier to understand and apply. |

So long as you know the rules of the game, you should be fine.

The stud forum FAQ no longer has a books list, and when it did, it wasn't very complimentary of the West book.
I am of the opinion that 7CS4AP is the best book out there for stud, whether you're playing $1-5 with no ante or $300/600 at the Bellagio. There are some so-called beginners books, but they stink. I don't really have anything against Roy West, but a lot of his advice is really weak-tight, and some of it is just plain silly. 7CS4AP isn't that deep; it isn't that advanced. If you have trouble grasping it, I don't like your chances of being able to beat the game in any case. And if you've studied poker some, then there isn't any reason to bother with another book. |

I agree with Andy. I asked the same question last year, was told the same thing, then I played enough stud that 7CS4AP makes sense and is better written than I first thought. By the way, questions don't generally lead to answers, in poker as in all things.

Othmer FTW! ... eh Andy ???
Actually I have yet to read an advanced book on poker, Chen and Ankenmann is the only one that is nominated for the title, tho some books are advanced due to bad writing [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
