Default Re: Card Player Digest: The Best of Card Player 1988-1994

I bought this book at a library sale for $.10 today. (good deal eh?) I'm only four articles in, which were just about the history/evolution of poker, but its an entertaining read so far. I did see at least one article by Sklansky. I'll comment on the strategy content once I read it if there's any interest.

If you don't mind, I'm curious as to how many articles Bob Ciaffone contributed and maybe a brief description of what they are about. I'm not much interested in limit hold'em and was wondering if all his articles are related to limit hold'em. Thanks...

There are eight articles by Bob Ciaffone:

"Four Myths" - Talks about overvaluing confidence, aggression, etc. No specific NL content.

"How much should you bet" - Overbet with hands with bad reverse implied odds to win it 'now', overbet with TP+FD type hands.

"Position and the tactical raise" - 7stud strategy, cant comment, i've never played this game seriously.

"Reraising" - LHE strategy, again never played this game seriously

"How to play the current nuts" - half PLHE / half PLO. Pretty standard 'dont slowplay big vulnerable hands'.

"Bluffability" - Dont judge the value of your steals solely on the the tightness/looseness of your opponent. Dont bluff people who are stuck and tilting.

"Playing the nut straight in omaha" - no comment

"A tip on satelite play" - Shove liberally when your stack is only a few BBs

Overall, its not groundbreaking stuff and the content that is covered here is covered better elsewhere. Hope this helps.
