Default Re: Sklansky and Mason Hold\'em Odds Book

I agree T. I think Petriv's book is everything that is being asked for here.

I will say this, when you first open the book it is it intimidating. It gave me flash-backs to Junior year Finite Math class in high school. That being said, once you dive in it all falls into place quite well.

Give Petriv a chance before we go writing a new version of an already good book.

Petriv's book is what is being asked for here. One of the complaints raised is that it's too much like a math book.

Well, that because odds IS math! I don't see how you can have an odds book without math. (Kind of like complaining that the Bible is okay, but it has too much God stuff in it. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img])

Petriv's book really isn't that hard to get through...

Its out of print... Petrov thinks the book has served it's course. I was told this by the staff at the Gambler's Book Club. I bought an authorized photocopy. Sucks for me eh?

Wow. Petrev's book is selling for 38 bucks on Amazon. Some guy is selling his used copy for over fifty.

I just ordered the only alternative "Texas Hold'Em Odds ~Catalin Barboianu". Anybody know if this is any good?
