Mason... new books.

Mason, curious to know if you have had any book offers on some of the more up and coming games. Crazy Pineapple seems to be catching on quite fast. I have noticed and old Pineapple book (Brian Smith) and a Crazy Pineapple book high-low split (Rhode & Toms), but nothing else seems to be available. Do you plan to publish anything regarding games like these? Thanks!

No. We have no plans.

"Crazy Pineapple seems to be catching on quite fast."


In time you'll find that games like that (or hold'em hi/lo, etc.) come and go, and generally never catch on. A particular game will get popular at a particular casino for a few months or so, only to finally die out. Those novelty type games just don't take hold long term. Don't get me wrong - eventually some not yet invented game will probably eclipse hold'em and stud in popularity as poker evolves. But nothing comes close yet, and probably won't for the next few years.
