How helpful does everyone think Essays I, II, and III are on their stud game?

PS: Just a warning: If this isn't made a sticky people will keep asking the book question. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hi Andy,

Any chance we'll recognize any of the hands that are going to be in the book?

Looking forward to it,
BRL

Assuming I get off of page four, I intend to make liberal use of posted hands.

Only page 4? Hurry up so I can't read it [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm looking forward especially to the stud8 76x bring in section. I've been doing some thinking and I'm begenning to like a completion more than the minimum bring in for many situations. I'm sure bholder and I will be posting lots of these HHs in the future. It's one area that's neglected in HLSP by Zee and I'm sure you'll do a great job of filling that in. That's presuming if you will be covering stud8 at all of course.

[/ QUOTE ]I think he is only covering stud hi. However, a stud/8 and razz book would be nice. I would think the stud hi section would be big on it's own. I actually hope it is only stud hi. I think when Zee made his book split it caused the information to be vague at times, because he tried to cover 2 topics in one book.

Andy, I'm rereading Ed Miller's SSH. I think the concepts in this book could help someone out in stud. Ed's a fantastic author and I think it would be worth it for someone to read this book. For example, I think a lot of Ed's dicsussion on river play is applicable to stud. I have a feeling you probably agree with this.

I read 'Seven Card Stud for Advanced Players' this year and I can honestly say it has not changed my play very much.

I learned my Stud 'book' knowledge from reading Super System. Then my play evolved from just playing a lot. What Seven Card Stud for Advanced Players did do was help me understand why I play the way I do.

'Theory of Poker' is the same way. If you have been playing with some success for some period of time books probably won't change the way you play very much. But for a someone new it is a great shortcut.

Regarding the Kammen book .. I haven't read it, but here is the author himself complaining recently that his book was trash at our forums (and in the process we get another beginners book thread into this one)

Hi Gelford:

I just went and read the post you linked. My only comment is that it's a shame.

Best wishes,
Mason

Mason,

We know you're busy, but we'd love your input on some of our strategy posts here. There has been some good discussion lately (and don't worry, I won't tell anyone about that hand where you limped with an ace and then folded when a four completed).
