David Sklansky is generally considered the number one authority on gambling in the world today. Besides his ten books on the subject, David also has produced two videos and numerous writings for various gaming publications. His occasional poker seminars always receive an enthusiastic reception, including those given at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City and the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. More recently, David has been doing consulting work for casinos, Internet gaming sites, and gaming device companies. He has recently invented several games, soon to appear in casinos. David attributes his standing in the gambling community to three things: 1. The fact that he presents his ideas as simply as possible (sometimes with Mason Malmuth) even though these ideas frequently involve concepts that are deep, subtle, and not to be found elsewhere. 2. The fact that the things he says and writes can be counted on to be accurate. 3. The fact that to this day a large portion of his income is still derived from gambling (usually poker, but occasionally blackjack, sports betting, horses, video games, casino promotions, or casino tournaments). Thus, those who depend on Davids advice know that he still depends on it himself.
A Great Book with Timeless Informatiuon from One of the Early Poker Greats This book is about the Fundamental Theory of Poker. Although not a recent book, much of the information is timeless. These are the ideas that separate the experts from the average players. In addition to the Fundamental Theorem of Poker and how it should affect your play, the book discusses deception, bluffing, the slow-play, the value of position, psychology, game theory, implied odds, semi bluffing, and more. A great read and one that should be in any serious poker player’s library.One of the best in the early days, still valuable nowdays This one was one of my first buys (I now have more that 30 poker books, this one was my second or third buy)Well, after many years in my library, I can review it for anyone interested.If you are a beginner, this one is THE MUST !!!! I remember when I first read it I was amazed from the issues it covered. Terms like Blocking Bet, Semi-Bluffing and defense against it, and so many more were all all new to me, and will open a bright new world to any newcomer who wants to actually study and learn poker beyond the basics!I know that in 2013, many of these topics seem so basic and obvious that might not raise that big of an interest but thinking that this book was written so many years ago, shows how important it is.One big plus of it is that it is not written with No Limit Holdem Hands only as examples! This is extremely important, cause it proves that its subjects are not applicable in NLHE only but in any form of poker. It also helps us get a better look at the big image, as knowing other forms of poker is always important if one wants to improve as a player overall.Even many years after its original release, this one remains a buy-or-die book for poker readers.Poker standard reference Not the easiest book to read, at least not in one setting. A lot of math, some made more complex than it need be IMO. Good for out of game analysis though, and will help you catch your leaks. It promotes more defensive style than what many of today's pro's style, but it also should allow less variance. So if you are looking to understand poker from the perspective of a longtime well-respected pro player, this one that you need in your library. I have read it and reread sections as I come across situations for which I need more analysis.
