Dude you have to post this in the Probability forum. They love this sort of stuff.

Question: how good is the overall advice in Anno's book? How is the draw being played eg with/out a joker?

Thanks for the pointer to the Probability forum - I hadn't noticed it before. I will post this there.

The book seems pretty good, though I haven't gotten through the meatiest chapters on strategy toward the end. Lots of probability calculations (a couple of which I unsure of, as I mentioned). The draw he talks about is with antes, no joker (he makes some disparaging remarks about jokers in the beginning), no minimum openers. He talks mostly about no-limit, though since he always talks in terms of pot odds and probabilities rather than betting strategy per se you could adapt it to limit easily enough.
