Default Re: beginner book

Hi preiserone:

I disagree. As long as you are playing stud with a decent sized ante, which usually means a structure similar to $15-$30 or higher where the ante is $2 and the bring-in is $5, there is no beginner book that makes sense. That's because in these games you can't just play very tight and conservative and have any chance of winning.

On the other hand, if you are going to play in a game where the ante structure is small relative to the bets, then a book like that written by West will be okay.

Best wishes,
Mason
