Customer Reviews
THE BEST 7 STUD BOOK IN PRINT, November 19, 2004
Reviewer: RICHARD ALBANESE (CHICAGO)
I have read this book several times and if you are a poker player or aspire to be one it will pay for itself rather quickly if you follow the advice contained in it. Ashley takes you from the basement home games to the casino environment arming you with everything you need to know before even sitting down. There are many books on holdem but very few on 7 stud written in recent times. Adams presents the reader with and entertaining and informative approach to seven card stud. I have read the few books on 7 stud and can tell you this one is the best. It gives you a gameplan to become a winner. Great for beginners or advanced players. Even Holdem players would find it a useful tool for picking up a new game.
A Wonderful Introduction, August 20, 2004
Reviewer: K. Bowen
If you're looking to learn the basics of 7-Card Stud, I can't imagine you'll find a better book (or a better value) than this one. Unlike most poker books, it's actually a pretty entertaining read and all the material is well-presented and organized.
I was already a profitable low-limit online Stud player before reading this book, but this book still helped my game quite a bit. There's some good advice in here regarding how to play in live casino games (especially if you're a newbie), game selection, identifying and playing against different types of players, etc.
As one of the reviews below mentions, this is a book for beginning and intermediate-level players and the advice is really only applicable for lower-limit games. You may also find that some of the advice on third street play in particular isn't really applicable to certain types of low-limit online games due to their betting structure.
But these are just minor nitpicks. Overall, this is an excellent book and a wonderful introduction to the game. If you're a new player, start with this book!
