I recently had a nice relaxing time playing some video poker with a decent pay table. I've read the Wizard's video poker sections but would like to do some more studying on the topic with a book in my hand (kind of old fashioned that way). Does anybody know of any really good books on video poker? Thanks.

I have never read any VP books. When I started I heard Dan Paymar had some good books. They may be a bit outdated now. Most people go for Bob dancers book now days. Some people refuse to buy his books because he works with casinos.

I haven't read any of them, but I would recommend Video Poker for the Intelligent Beginner by Bob Dancer, published in 2009. Dancer is very competent. He may also be a thief, but that's not important right now :)

Dan Paymar was one of the pioneers. He re-released his book in 2010, but I'm cautious of old books that have been updated.

Jean Scott published Frugal Video Poker in 2006. That could be an option if it's on sale.

Presumably you'll also want some type of training software. You'll find a lot of options for that.

I'm also trying to learn a thing or two about vp. I have Dancer's vpw software, Jean Scott's Frugal Gambler, Dan Paymar's Optimal book, Rob Singer's book, and Frank Kneeland's book. I expect to learn much from all these viewpoints.

Video poker doesn't lend itself well to the book format. The main things you need are information about where the good games are, return of any given game and pay table, and strategies. You can get all of that online now -- the latter two on my Odds site.
It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

Throw Rob Singer's book in the trash.

If you want to learn about video poker plays back in the day Bob Dancer's, "Million Dollar Video Poker" is pretty good, even if you have a bad opinion of him. Strategy-wise just stick to the Wizard of Odds. Play a bunch of practice hands and you'll see why you hold 4 to an inside straight over a redraw on one game but redraw on another.

I would hate to go back and quote what you said about, VP and VP AP's.

Stick to slots or Rob Singer VP is for losers

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention this site or not, but I subscribe to www.videopoker.com and it is worth every cent. Not only do I get to play the newest games, they have daily contests and tournaments you can play in. I think one of the best features of the site is the training mode feature where you can play your favorite games and it will tell you which hand is the best play. If you are unsure about subscribing, you can sign up for a free 7 day trial.
