New Book Schedule

[Mason Malmuth]

Hi Everyone:

Here's our tentative schedule for new books:

Small Stakes Hold 'em; Winning Big with Expert Play by Ed Miller, David Sklansky, Mason Malmuth -- July 2004

Advanced Tournament Strategy, Volume I by Dan Harrington and Bill Robertie -- Nov 2004

Advanced Tournament Strategy, Volume II by Dan Harrington and Bill Robertie -- April 2005

Business is a Poker Game By Dr. Alan Schoonmaker -- not sure but I suspect in the six to 10 month timeframe.

Best wishes,
Mason

Hi Mason,

These all sound like interesting projects. I'm especially glad to see that Dan Harrington is part of the tournament books.

Can you tell us a little bit about Bill Robertie? I see that he seems to be a backgammon expert who has written many books on that game. Is he also an expert poker player? Is he coauthoring with Dan Harrington because of his writing ability, his poker ability, or both?

Thanks.

Hi JTG51:

Bill and Dan have been close friends for over 30 years. While he's not a poker player, he is an expert "games" player, and writes very well.

I have seen some preliminary material and it is quite dynamic.

best wishes,
Mason

Is there a way to pre-order these books? (particularly the Small Stakes Hold 'em book)

[img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] you can be sure i am buying at least one of each...

i am assuming robertie is of backgammon fame...his problem sloving backgammon books (both vol i and ii ) are must buys for bg, and his style of writing and reasoning is outstanding and easy for the tyro to follow...

sounds like some big winners...

Mason,

How will the approach of Harrington and Robertie be different from that of Sklansky in TPFAP?

Hi aesic:

Not yet. But when we are ready to go to press, there will be. Sometimes in projects like these there are unexpected delays, and we don't want anyone to be holding your money if no product is available.

Best wishes,
Mason

Hi scalf:

It is the same Bill Robertie.

Hi jdl22:

There will be many tournament specific hand problems.

Mason,

Why two volumes of tournament books? Do they progress in level, or are they different subjects altogether?

Thanks,
Bill
