Review of McEvoys Tournament Poker

[xPuns1her]

This morning while sipping on a Jamba Juice at my local Barnes and Noble I picked up a copy of Tom McEvoy's Tournament Poker and read the NL section. All I have to say is that any decent player could have written this book, its a piece of crap. He says things like when he has AK and theres a limper he likes to raise it 600 (blinds 100/200)... okaaayy.. thats fu.cking great Tom thanks for your humble opinion written in stone. All it is is common knowledge with a few of his opinions tossed in and its pawned off as a strategy guide. Maybe I should write a party poker tournament guide by xPuns1her, instead of the caption below being "has four WSOP titles" it would be "has raped party tournaments".. just as credible for knowledge in MY opinion.

BOOK: 2/10

just ahead of time because I know some smart ass is going to do it anyway:

POST: 0/10

and heres a preemptive fu.ck you.

to be fair, the book was first published in 1995. There are definitely a bunch of better books available than this one, but its not like he just crapped this one out to take advantage of the poker craze (like a whole bunch of others have.)

Gee, maybe you should demand your money back for such a crappy book.

Oh, wait. You didn't actually pay the author for his work, you did the B&N bootleg. You got nothing to gripe about.

Hard to argue with that kind of superior intelligence and rhetoric. You obviously know of what you speak.

I see you didnt catch the Seinfeld refrence. Therefore you SIR are the IDIOT.

You play party 215s (and badly judging by opinions of your play) and write threads of little substance on a poker forum.

Tom McEvoy won the WSOP, 3 other bracelets and wrote a book in 95 which i consider a good read (though definately not A list, the decade has shown on its accuracy in modern play).

McEvoy 1, xPuns1her 0

Plus he gets a late goal in overtime for being able to spell punisher:

2:0

I should write a tourney book, but the caption under mine would be "has raped punisher in EVERY party sng they have ever played together." Seriously, get a life and stop whining about everything. No one really cares what you think about a book that everyone knows is crap.

You obviously took the time to read, block my user name if you dont want the amusement of reading my posts you fu.ck. I dont care about your opinions either.

[FieryJustice]

You do provide a few laughs, so I read the rubbish you post. Maybe you should spend some time reading and trying to understand some of the things on the forum so you might stand a chance in the $215's. Now that I think about it, you are the only 2+2er I will let have position on me. All I know is that you obviously have rich parents.
