Both my daughter and I, the one who is featured of the front cover of all my books, used to play a lot of Stud in Las Vegas. Some of the card rooms in Vegas, like Binion's Casino, hosted poker games in the back rooms, which usually were smoke-filled card rooms with a lot of ruthless card players. Times sure have changed in Las Vegas. With the rise in televised poker games, like Texas Hold'em, Seven-Card Stud literally dropped out of the poker-playing scene in Vegas. However, because of hard economic times, some casinos are starting to host different poker games, just to get more patrons to come in. Whatever the case may be, make certain you have the latest information, along with knowing the proper strategies, to challenge everyone--on all levels of the game.
Poker in Las Vegas is a down-to-earth sort of book that speaks in layman's terms. Besides all this, the book doesn't speak in a highly complicated and technical manner--just the honest truth about everything you need to know to play good poker in Sin City. | | | | | | |
