science of poker

[cockandbull]

has anyone read it? what did you think?

[DerrekL]

Yes. It's OK. It covers Omaha, Holdem, and Stud. I've only read the holdem section. It doesn't reveal anything new, however, it's a decent book. But if you have HPFAP or SSH you don't need this book.

I usually say that to people at the table who ask me about SOP.

It's a great book, that helps you develop feel, and has some new/old concepts that are not talked about in 2+2 books. It's a book you read after you can beat a hold'em/stud/Hi omaha game with ease, and are now looking to to take your play to a higher level.

Basicly this book talks about the odds of different types of poker match-ups and how that should influence your thinking/betting in the different games. Thats not really a big subject in HEFAP or 7CSFAP (haven't read SSH). But it is very important. Especially when you have current best hand.

Does the book really come up often at the table? I've never even heard of it.
