Introduction : Questions and Answers

A great deal of material has been covered in this book.

However, for many people, reading and learning can be two different things.

Consequently, to help you retain some of the more significant ideas, I have reiterated them in a question-and-answer format.

I suggest that after you have read and studied this text, you try to answer the following questions.

You probably will want to go over them many times.

In addition, I suggest that you cover the answer that immediately follows each question.

Only look at the solution after you have answered the question to the best of your ability.

Also, I want to point out that what follows is not a substitute for the text. In fact, some of the ideas in the text are not contained here.

But enough material is included so that after you have thoroughly digested the text, the questions should help keep your six seven card stud eight-or-better game sharp.

Finally, the questions and answers are organized by topics covered in the text, so you can easily return to the appropriate section for a fuller explanation.
