Dave Scharf’s Winning at Poker is a solid introduction to the games of Holdem and Seven Card Stud. This is by no means the last word in poker strategy, and it won’t turn novices into world-class players, but it is an excellent starting point. Scharf does a good job with providing a good basis for sound poker play along with well-considered references to appropriate sources for further study. Veteran poker players have no real reason to read this book, but novice players looking for an introduction to Holdem and Stud would be well served by it.
