Default Re: Petriv\'s Hold\'em\'s Odds Book

You should get Gambling Theory and Other Topics by Mason Malmuth. It's worth the price just for the reviews on the back. This is what Malmuth writes on pg 334:

56. Hold 'em's Odds Book (8/10) by Mike Petriv.If your understanding of probability theory is poor and you are interested in the underlying mathematics of the game, then this text is pretty good. For example, if you want to know the probability of backdooring a flush when you start with two suited cards and flop one of the appropriate suit, this book will show you how these computations are done. The reason I don't rate it higher is that this material will not help you much in your play.
