HOH book gives me idea for new book

[Walter Pullis]

The Harringtom book was great. Particularly great were the examples, where he would take you through the exact thinking and options you have right through the river. And he didn't just discuss premium hands.

Which gave me an idea for some poker pro. Why not a book containing only examples? Say 500 of them. Now I know that there are not that many playable hands, but the
author could take you through 10 possible flop/turn/river
situations with AQ offsuit, or QJ suited for example.
The author would not have to be much of a writer, just a good
poker teacher.

Tournament Practice Hands by Cloutier/McEvoy has too much emphasis on premium hands in NL section and, too put it simply,
not enough examples. I envision a 500+ page book.

So something similar, but better and more extensive? Sounds good. Get to work. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

The last I heard, Ciaffone's new no limit holdem book will be something like this. Don't know if plans have changed since, but I was told a while ago that it would be in the same style as his middle limit book.

Quiz sections of 2+2 books do just that?

The material for such a book is right here in these forums. Someone should cull through the posts and put it together in a book format. There are hundreds of hands here complete with analysis. Who wants to take it on?

Mason has said that Harrington and Robertie are planning just such a book.

I still think this would make a great book.

[uuDevil]

Oh, yeah. Ed Miller said he is considering this too.

I have a few chapters of Ciaffone's book, and it will be nothing like Middle Limit Hold'em. It is more of a standard poker book (starting hands, responding to a raise, etc.) A good book, but nothing ground breaking.

Not sure if the hands selection will be better, but there is a new version of the Cloutier book coming out February 1.

I assume they are just the intro chapters as those I've seen are meant for total beginners. But maybe he has changed his mind as it was over 12 months ago when he told me it would be of the same style as middle limit holdem with lots of practical problems. He also told me he hoped to have it finished by the end of last summer, so maybe being busy in other areas has changed his plan.
