Thank you! Now I'm salivating to get it into my bookshelf and find time to study it!

It is a very good book, and I believe it will create a sensation in the poker tournament world.


One thing for sure, it's going to get read, and we will read lots of opinions here.

Will the book be available upon my visit on April 7-11 in Vegas..I plan on hitting the bookstore if available...Buying in canada is quite expensive...

I`m very curious about chapter 4 in relation to hand qizzes....I`m expecting some positive insights and results from these quizzes..

I also notice chapter 2 and 5 are related as in the suzuki book format....

I get a great sense the book will compliment Ciaffones quite well by filling some huge gaps...

Nothing is guaranteed, but if you were to press for a date when we will actually get books off the bindery line I would say April 4. We expect to be on press this week, and on Friday our printer said it could be as early as Monday, but I think Wednesday is more like it. Anyway, if we do get on press by Wednesday, it should take about a week and the book should be available when you show up.
