OMAHA POKER 21st Century Edition 2006 - 124 pages - $16. AVAILABLE NOW! This book thoroughly explains Omaha, the action-packed poker form that uses four cards in your hand. It was originally printed in 1984, then greatly expanded in the Millennium Edition (1999) to give deeper coverage of the popular form for limit play, high-low split eight-or-better. I have now republished it in 2006 under the new title "Omaha Poker." The entire book has been rewritten, with 20 extremely informative pages added on pot-limit Omaha high. If you have an earlier edition of the book, no need to buy the new one -- unless your game is pot-limit Omaha high, in which case you need the new book bigtime.

SMITH-MORRA GAMBIT, FINEGOLD DEFENSE 2000 - 140 pages - $10 I co-authored this book with IM Ben Finegold. We show how black can meet the Smith-Morra Gambit in the Sicilian Defense by developing the kingside and leaving the queen-knight at home, which allows black to expand on the queenside by a6 and b5. We think this is the most effective way to meet the gambit, giving black a large advantage.
