Getting Started in Hold \'em -- Cover Contest
 
Hi Everyone:

We need a cover designed for our upcoming book Getting Started in Hold 'em by Ed Miller. The dimensions of the book are 5 1/2" by 8 1/2". If you want to use cover blurbs (and we like this) use:

Nuts and Bolts

Limit Hold 'em
. Sample Hands
. Preflop Standards

No Limit Hold 'em
. Overview
. Understanding Stack Size

Tournament Hold 'em
. Satellite Strategy
. Sit 'n Go Strategy
. Multitable Strategy

Evaluating Your Play

The winner will get a complete set of our books, a $300 cash payment, and a Two Plus Two Publishing Logo Shirt. The cover will be chosen at the end of this month.

Best wishes,
Mason

Have a novice walk by a poker table. At the poker table, it's Phil Ivey playing David Sklansky. Ivey says "no string bets, bitch" and Sklansky says "Do you see why?"

Then the title: Getting started in hold em.

I like the sound of that t-shirt!

btw what should I do with my (losing) entry, email it to you? Furthermore do you need front and back covers, or just the front?

Hi jdl22:

It's not a t-shirt. It's a 100 percent cotton polo shirt and the brand is Stedman by Hanes. Like our books, we only go first class. We expect to have the shirts in about a week.

As for the cover, post a picture of it here, and we'll use our standard design for the back cover so the front cover is what we're looking for.

Best wishes,
Mason

kipin:

This book is not being written by the Matador. The deck only has one Kd. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Well, all other 2+2 book covers make you smile when you see the bad beat, this one delves into a deeper side of the poker world, rigged decks.

Plus, it adds a special touch upon repeat viewings since it is so subtle.

Edit: The 2+2 publishers will also be happy to find out my submission falls within the diameters outlined.

Is it weird that gave me LSD flashbacks?
