low limit seven card stud book

I often find my self playing low limit (1-3, 1-5) seven card stud while I am waiting for a 5-10 hold 'em table. I am looking for a good book that can offer me some sound information to improve my results here.

Roy West is a good primer

Hello,Bkism,

"Seven Card Stud For Low And Medium Limits" by Roy West


Sitting Bull

I do not think there are any books that will help you if you already are a winner at 5-10. My advice would be to read the loose games section of 7CSFAP and try to imagine how it will apply to these games. There also has been much discussion fo this on this forum, i.e how to play when the pot is raised versus when you can limp in, the effect of an ante versus no ante etc. I think you will find this more helpful than reading wests book, which is very good but not very advanced for a reasonably acomplished player at 5-10. That is not to say that you should not read it, but that there is a lot more to low limit play than just what is inhis book.


Good luck,

pat

No doubt about it. Get West's book.

I agree . You can adjust the strategies in 7CSFAP to for the lower limits. The West book is real basic stuff and a little too tight for my tastes but a good book for begginers.

John..

pat...i am 5-10 hold 'em player, not stud.

Hello,MRB,

Name me three major specific differences between West's "primer" and Ray Zee's "advanced stud book" in the play of three different hands?


Thanks ***********Sitting Bull*****

Hello,1-5,

It seems to me that 7csfap's guide lines

are tighter than those proposed by West.

Maybe I did not scrutinize both books sufficiently.

Anyway,can you provide 3 illustrations to back up your statement that Ray zee's stud book is looser than west's?(by giving specific hand plays)


Thanks,1-5************Sitting Bull

one major difference is how the hands will be played. west does not discuss plays such as raising with an A high three flush to make a pair, does not have the discussion of antestealing to the same extent as the Green Book, and west I think has you throw away too many hands when the pot is raised since he does not adequately discuss how to play when the raiser is loose as opposed to when he is normal or tight. this is just from the top of my head so if some of this is not totally accurate then I apologize in advance.
