[ QUOTE ] Hi Andy: I guess you never read his book on home poker. Best wishes, Mason [/ QUOTE ] Dude, hoagies are SO +EV. [/ QUOTE ] I thought the "hoagie ploy" was from Poker: A Guaranteed Income For Life, by Frank Wallace. I could be wrong though, I haven't read either book in at least 20 years, so it COULD have been in How To Hustle Home Poker by John Fox. |

...and, don't forget "Hold'em Poker For Winners" which was co-authored by Carl Anderson. [/ QUOTE ] Have you read that book and if so, what did you think? Lost Wages |

I voted for David but it was extreamly close between him and Mason. I like Gambling theory and other topics so much it almost swayed me.

By the way, nothing against Bob Ciaffone, but whoever the 12 of you are that voted for him over either Mason, Ed, or David REALLY should explain that vote... How he has more than Mason is absolutely bizarre. Does he have 12 cousins on this board?

[/ QUOTE ] Because I like bigbet holdem and omaha, and he has a good writing style that explains things clearly. Does that meet with your approval. |

Re: Vote For Your Favorite All-Time Poker Author
"Positively Fifth Street" is already considered by some to be one of the greatest "sports" books of all time. And if you can't learn as much from it as you can true strategy books, then you're truly a hopeless case.
In fact, that his name wasn't among those listed, is a sure sign this list was posted by an amateur, perhaps not in poker, but certainly in what consitutes great reading. |

Re: Vote For Your Favorite All-Time Poker Author
This is crazy...
That Ed Miller can get so much votes.. With out any doubt it is between Sklansky and Brunson, my vote goes for Sklansky, but Brunson is a clear 2nd, these to men were the 1st to write books of this nature and great authors like Miller,Harrington,Hilger and Yao etc. Have clearly studdied Sklansky, Brunson and Malmouth. That needs to be taken into account. Doyle Brunson is probley the greatest role model for poker, of all time...Give credit were its due. |

Re: Vote For Your Favorite All-Time Poker Author
My guess is, regardless of what the original poster asked for, Miller and Sklansky are votes from a lot of people because of SSHE and TOP.
