Books on 7 card stud.

OnlinePokerCoach.com
Sklansky, Malmuth, and Zee's Seven Card Stud for Advanced Players.
I used to specialize in stud and found both of these books to be good. Note
however that for online play, hold'em is easier. The games are simply
softer. Also, it is easier to play multiple tables in hold'em, since
(unlike stud) you do not need to memorize any upcards.
I also found the stud games in Vegas to be incredibly tough when compared to
the hold'em games of the same limit. The situation may be different on the
East coast, from what I hear.

Hey, glad to see I made the cut :o)
My book was designed for strictly the low limits, and I take the reader through
the playable hands street by street, trying to focus when to raise, fold, call,
etc.
7 Stud is a great game and I hope you love it.

offer. Truly. Even the bad ones. I'm obviously biased in favor of my book --
I think it will take you from beginner to a good intermediate player. But I
can also tell you that West's book, Sklansky's book and Kammen's book will
definitely help your game if you read them thoughtfully.
One last thing. If you buy my book and have questions you can email me
directly. I'm happy to chat with you about poker problems you face.

Yes, I agree that in general, the stud games on the east coast, at
least up through the 20-40 level, are very soft indeed. I think one
of the reasons is that "everyone" knows how to play 7-card stud here,
so you tend to find even more "newbies" at stud than hold-em because
it's familiar (obviously this had been changing in the last year) or
people who have been playing forever and think they play well when
they don't, and because people tend to suck out more at stud, the bad
players get rewarded more often and can survive longer, plus the game
moves more slowly than hold-em.
Though I consider myself a better hold-em than stud player, I have
once in a while looked at a hold-em lineup and decided not to play,
whereas I have NEVER seen a stud game that didn't look worth playing
(again talking only up through 20-40). Even in a typical 10-20 or
20-40 hold-em game, where I'd say there are usually 1-3 other good
players at the table, that number never seems to be that high at stud.
But I do think stud is a harder game to play then hold-em. I'd rather
play hold-em against a bunch of good hold-em players than stud against
a bunch of good stud players, but I haven't seen the latter yet at the
limits I play.
Though now the hold-em games have become SOO good (not that they were
ever bad)...

the 8 is a wildman and the 379 are anything but very, very loose players I
probably reraise, hoping to make it heads up with the 8 and hoping that since
he is a wildman he doesn't have a pocket pair higher than 10s, but rather a
pair of 4s with a high kicker or just a couple of high cards or three suited
cards. If he is a very conservative and not especially aggressive player, on
the other hand, I am tempted to fold thinking that it is unlikely he has
anything other than a higher pair than my 10s (otherwise why wouldn't he just
call in this loose passive game with three players who are calling along
already). I am even more likely to fold if the other players tend to be loose
and passive enough to call his raise. If he is a typical, average player in a
relatively loose passive game I am tempted to call his completion, expecting
three or four callers -- giving me a good price for me to see if I hit my 20:1
or so shot -- trip 10s on Fourth.
What do you do?
