You must not have tried too hard, esp. since you know Ed wrote it. Anyhow ... Getting Started In Hold 'Em. Nothing else comes close in this category.

Re: Superficial \"Weighing the Odds\" comment

I agree, and don't think it's superficial at all. For me, it greatly increases the readability. I'm one of those lame players that likes the '4 color' option for the suits at Party. I don't have...
