Summary: Fantastic 7-Card Thesis For Advanced & Intermediate Players
Review: A perfect study for anyone who's SERIOUS about completing their 7-card education. This should NOT be the first or even second book you read on your journey to 7-card mastery. The theories presented are certainly advanced, but nothing beyond what even an "intermediate" player would (and should) understand. In fact, this is the kind of text that, when put into practice, can foster the growth of an intermediate player to a higher level. What made this book stand out among my poker library is its direct approach to SPECIFIC situations. Most poker books fail to provide numerous, exact plays in those all-too-often marginal hands. Yet, it is in these plays where the expert extracts his profits over the long run. The examples are often involved, yet clearly presented. What are you representing? What should you represent? How do your opponents perceive you? Will a raise here put you into a heads-up situation? If so, is that desirable at this point in time? One word of caution: As a player who has experienced up to the 15-30 level, I suggest these techniques are worthless below 10-20, with the exception of a TIGHT game below 10-20 (is that an oxymoron?) In fact, the authors often use a 30-60 game for their examples. Most players below the 10-20 simply aren't sophisticated enough to make "correct" decisions in reaction to your plays. After all, if your opponents don't know what they're doing, how are you supposed to know what they're doing? There is a section on loose games that addresses these issues thoroughly, but I wouldn't suggest a low-limit player buy the book simply because of that text. A better book for those low limit players would be Roy West's "7-Card Stud: The Complete Course in Winning at Medium and Lower Limits." There's one more thing that this advanced course has that I have yet to see in another poker book: A quiz - just to make sure you're getting the key points! I never understood why all of my other poker books, which are in fact tutorials, didn't provide a quiz to make the reader (student) is getting a passing grade. Students in school don't get through a semester without being tested, and the reader of a tutorial style book shouldn't pass through without facing the challenge of a test either. Cheers to Sklansky, Malmuth, and Zee for caring enough about their students to include this critical section so many others seem to lack.

Summary: Suuperb Poker Book
Review: After a 2 year layoff from medium stakes poker(10-20, 15-30, 20-40), I decided to take a trip to Vegas. About 2 months before the trip I figured that I better brush up on my poker skills so I purchased 3 books. This was the last one and by far the most helpful. The book educated me on correct plays and more aggressive moves without risking all that much. I wish I had read the book 2 years ago when I lived up north and often frequented Atlantic City. Upon my departure from Vegas I had won over $.... playing poker. I only wish I didn't play craps.

Summary: Best Stud Book on the market
Review: First of all, let me correct some of the things writen in the next review.

-"The book title doesn't claim to cover the hi-lo variation of seven card stud"

2+2 publishing have another book on that matter called Hi/Lo split poker. It cover both Stud HL and Omaha HL.

-"It would be nice to see Sklansky cover the hi-lo aspect of seven card stud to round out his take on the game."

Ray Zee wrote that book, Not David Sklansky.

Summary: Seven-Card Stud for Advanced Players
Review: Great book. When you know the basics and above this a book for you. I play 4-10 trips a year and this book confirms and expands my knowlege of when to stay and fold. Great book for third street (your first bet). Like should I go in if I have three hearts (9, 10 Queen) and a Ace has already raised. It will tell you what to do.

Summary: THE 7-stud bible
Review: I bought this book through reference from the news group rec.gambling.poker It is an expensinve book compared to other poker books, but you get what you pay for. You should have a decent amount of knowledge of the game. Thins won't teach you what a call or check is, but if you're past the elementry level of 7-stud, get this book, study it and you will be far more than 30 dollars up at the table!
