 | | It is probably best known for the Sklansky Hand Rankings, which made the game much simpler to quantify and understand. |
 | | Some of the topics include how Texas holdem is played, the importance of position, the first two cards, the key "flops," strategy before the flop, semi-bluffing, the free card, slowplaying, check raising, head-up on fifth street, and how to read hands. |
 | | Not only was this text, which is Sklanskys first work, a major contributor to the explosive growth of this game, it is also a book that should still be read by all serious players. |
