Default Re: Pokernomics

Maybe I am just paranoid and the people who read this book won't be the people I win money from anyway. One difference between this book and two-plus-two books is that this book is (I am assuming) going to contain actual data from actual hands of play and give answers that are EMPIRICALLY based. Two-plus-two books don't present analyzed data sets and do not claim to have an empircal basis. They only claim to be theoretical and as such require interpretation and thought. Not just any idiot can pick up ToP and HPAP and instantly become good at poker. They must truly understand the theoretical basis and then apply it.

With empirical data however, I fear that direct formulas (at least moreso than already exist) for play can be developed and understood by those who cannot figure out poker theory. That is the difference between this book and the others, empiricism vs. theory.

But I have since agreed with you. I am just paranoid.
