Thanks MRBAA. Would you have the name of that Roy West book? I'm going to be at a bookstore later today and wouldn't mind picking it up ASAP.

I wouldn't think of playing stud (or any other game) without gathering as much information as possible in order to make the most profitable decisions regarding my own hand. This means learning how best to keep track of cards. I've heard that some world class stud players have a photographic memory which allows them to know every card out. If that's what it takes to become a top-notch stud player, then I'm afraid I'll never make it. But I'm not dumb, and have decent poker skills in general. If there's a better way to keep track of cards, I'd be very interested in learning. Thanks again.
