Theory of Poker, ThesynopsisDavid Sklansky is generally considered the number one authority on gambling in the world today and this book is regarded by many as being the best general poker book ever written full reviewDavid Sklansky is generally considered the number one authority on gambling in the world today and this book is regarded by many as being the best general poker book ever written. The main draw of this book is Sklansky's ability to put forward mathematically complex ideas in a simple and logical way. Even if you don't grasp all the maths in the first read, you will have a clear idea of the thinking principles involved in becoming a great player. Sklansky's ideas are detailed and thoughtfully laid out, but perhaps one of the most appealing points of this book is that the principles discussed can be used across all poker forms. This book will not teach you to play any particular game of poker or tell you which hands to play or how to play specific situations. What this book does is to explain the value of certain types of play and to give specific examples from different games, especially Hold'em, Omaha and Seven Card Stud, and to illustrate how the theory changes in practice if you're playing in limit or no-limit games. Sklansky's book gets you strategizing correctly and thinking about proper play. Back to Books Index |
