Stewart Reuben's and Bob Ciaffone's Poker Book

Poker authors Stewart Reuben and Bob Ciaffone have written a book titled "Pot-Limit and No-Limit Poker." At the same time, poker author and player T. J. Cloutier has also written a book with such title. Because of this, readers cannot help but compare these two books of the same topic. But if you are going to ask us, these books are both worth reading. Those three poker authors are all credible enough to write on such topic. Both books are considered as two of the best poker books ever written about pot-limit and no-limit poker. However, we would like to focus our discussion on the book written by Stewart Reuben and Bob Ciaffone.

Just like Cloutier, both Stewart Reuben and Bob Ciaffone are world-renowned professional poker players. They are both well respected in the poker world, Bob Ciaffone being famous for his achievements related to Omaha poker games and Stewart Reuben being famous for his poker skills and poker articles that he has been writing since the 1960s. Indeed, these two notable people from the poker industry are credible poker writers as well.

In their book "Pot-Limit and No-Limit Poker," the authors introduce the basics concerning no-limit and pot-limit play and explain their differences from limit poker games. We highly suggest poker players to read this section of the book in particular before participating in a ring game or in a big bet poker tournament for the very first time. Such section of this poker book is definitely helpful for novice players of pot-limit and no-limit poker.

Poker forms are discussed in the second section of "Pot-Limit and No-Limit Poker." Some of these poker forms are Stud Hi-Lo, Pot-Limit Omaha, and No-Limit Hold'em. Quizzes also follow after the discussion of poker forms, which assures readers that they will learn a lot from such poker book.

The third section of "Pot-Limit and No-Limit Poker" is titled Special Situations, which features two chapters about shorthanded play and poker tournament play. The fourth section of this poker book is titled General Information, presenting a historical background not only of the game of poker, but also of such topics as cheating, ethical considerations, and pot-limit rules. This particular section of "Pot-Limit and No-Limit Poker" is considered to be very helpful for novice players of big bet games. Therefore, we suggest that novice players of big bet games read this section carefully before participating in games.

"Pot-Limit and No-Limit Poker" ends with details related to add calculation as well as tables that feature probabilities of particular poker events that occur. This information may be present in other poker books but we believe that such information is very significant that it needs to be included in any other poker book.

Stewart Reuben and Bob Ciaffone teach big bet poker effectively through this poker book.
