Default Error in HEPFAP

I was wondering if anyone elses book has this same misprint. On page 97 (raising) It says:
"You also can raise as a semi-bluff. For example, suppose you have Ah 4c and the flop is Jd8s3c and everyone checks. If the next card is the 5c giving you the and gut-shot straight draw, you should usually raise if someone bets."
Im assuming the Ah should be a Ac. Anyone elses like this?

I don't think that's a misprint (unless you mis-printed the quote, which is possible considering your post says "giving you the and gut-shot"). "Gut-shot" refers to any 4-out straight draw (i.e., not just your typical "inside" straight draw, but also A234 and AKQJ, which only make a straight one way).

In your example, yes, having Ac4c would be a better semi-bluff (now having the gutshot and the flush draw), but you can still semi-bluff raise with only the gutshot.

I'm sure that this example was intended to be having the A [img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img] on a board of J [img]/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img] . Their commentary was meant to say that you now have the nut flush draw and a gutshot straight draw. They would not advocate a marginal play like semibluffing just a gutshot and an overcard on the turn... while it may be correct in some situations... it would not be an example in the book (notwithstanding the T9 example).

I've got the 21st Century Edition, and it shows the A [img]/forums/images/icons/heart.gif[/img] , which is clearly wrong. Do they have an errata for the books anywhere?
