Science of Poker

A comprehensive analysis of Limit and Pot-Limit Omaha, Texas Hold ’em, and Seven-Card Stud as well as No-Limit Hold ’em, this revolutionary gambling book offers a general discussion of the three primary skills of poker—”people, probabilities, and money”—as well as a detailed overview of starting-hand selection and simple methods for working out probabilities relevant to these games. With analyses of a hundred examples of the most common situations in “after the flop play” for Omaha and Hold ’em and “beyond the fourth street” play for Seven-Card Stud, this book has it all. Dr. M. Mahmood has advanced degrees in both Chemistry and Physics; in 1992, he retired to become a semi-professional poker player.
