Subject: Books on H.O.R.S.E. ?
|
I'm trying to branch out into other forms of poker besides holdem.
H.O.R.S.E encapsulates a bunch of poker games including holdem,
unfortuantely there are not as many books on the other forms of poker.
I've seen that David Sklansky has published books on the other forms of
poker included in H.O.R.S.E., but again haven't seen that many others.
So can any of you out there recommend good reads on:
- Omaha eight or better
- Razz
- Seven card stud
- Seven card stud eight or better

Ouch, that's a lot of reading. Well Ray Zee is going to be a must:

Then probably Super System 2:

Razz is usually learned from a long, hard road of pain and suffering.
Often a blood sacrifice is required.
Seriously though, those two books are some HEAVY reading, so start with
those and if you really need more, consider pro lessons.

And if you're into audiobooks, you can get it at audible.com
20 bucks or so a month (not sure what I pay) gets you 2 books
per month (credits can be rolled over) ... I'll probably be cancelling
next month if they don't get more poker books up there, but so
far I have gotten Helmuth's PPLTP, Greenstein's Ace on the River,
Annie Duke's biography, and Gordon's Little Green Book.
Next download will be Positively 5th street... but after that I don't
know what to get... any audible users have good suggestions?

I'd go with Ray Zee Hi Lo Split book for S8 and O8. Sklanksy on Razz
for razz.
I don't know on Stud as I haven't read much on it.

A lot of the book is discussing games and environments he doesn't have
experience in.

What's so awful about it?
I got killed the first time I played HORSE and wanted to improve my game.
"Play Poker..." was the only book I owned that covered all of the games. So,
I reread the relevant chapters and made starting hand charts from Phil's
reccomendations.
The second time I played HORSE I qualified for Pokerstars WCOOP event by
winning a sattelite tournament.
I was stoked to be in the WCOOP but still unsure of my game so I entered
another HORSE MTT. I finished fourth.
Not amazing but...
I think the only reasons I did well in those events was Phil's starting
hands and aggressive play. Oh, and uh, luck *cough*.
His animals are silly but I think the book accomplishes it's purpose which
is to make money for Phil.
Seriously though, the guy asked for a book and I gave him one that improved
my game.

I meant SS2. Thanks for the correction.
SS1 has all of seven pages on Razz. Better than nothing, I suppose.
