I
could easily recommend the most technically accurate
video poker book on the bookshelves today, but it
isn't going to be of much use to the average player
if the poor guy or gal has to struggle to understand
and apply its strategies. So, Mike, I'm going to
limit my picks to three straightforward, and easy-to-grasp
books: Victory at Video Poker by Frank Scoblette,
or either Precision Play or Optimum Play by Dan
Paymar.
My
advice for those of you who are now just recreational
players but who want to become serious video poker
players, is to get any of these books and watch
with pleasure which direction your hard-earned
money then flows.
