Real Poker Night
by Henry Stephenson
Poker night is a national tradition. But the variations of poker most casual players know--filled with wild cards, penny-ante bets, and rules that change at the whim of the dealer--are a far cry from the games played by professionals. That's unfortunate, because millions of intelligent players are needlessly missing out on the depth and sophistication of this uniquely American pastime. This practical, user-friendly guide makes the case for authentic poker, lays out the formal rules used in card rooms and high-stakes tournaments, and provides a primer on strategy that will equip you to become a winner at the real game. Contrary to popular belief, serious competitive poker isn't any less fun than homespun games; serious poker is more fun, and there's no reason you can't play it on your kitchen table over reasonable stakes.

Seven-Card Stud for Advanced Players (Advance Player)
by David Sklansky
Seven-card stud is an extremely complex game. Deciding on exactly the right strategy in any particular situation can be very difficult. Perhaps this is why very few authors have attempted to analyze this game even though it is widely played. In 1989, the first edition of this text appeared. Many ideas, which were only known to a small, select group of players, were now made available to anyone who was striving to become an expert, and a major gap in the poker literature was closed. It is now a new century, and the authors have again moved the state of the art forward by adding over 100 pages of new material, including an extensive section on "loose games." Anyone who studies this text, is well disciplined, and gets the proper experience should become a significant winner. Some of the other ideas discussed in this 21st century edition include the cards that are out, the number of players in the pot, ante stealing, playing big pairs, playing little and medium pairs, playing three-flushes, playing three-straights, randomizing your play, fourth street, pairing your door card on fourth street, proper play on fifth, sixth, and seventh streets, defending against a possible ante steal, playing against a paired door card, scare card strategy, and buying a free card.
