Re: Caro Article
Mason,
how succinct. This longtime claim contradictory to his present claim is the only pin needed to pop the balloon. Not to mention anyone who has been successful at poker at one time, even if not presently, obvioulsy does not ignore the math.
So here's my take. I believe 2+2 books are THE books for poker folk and the ones most talked about and purchased. Caro's " Book of Tells " is legendary and that's about it. Not to mention recent results in televised competitions if you look at Sklansky vs Caro.
Caro is a marketeer and knows any publicity is (blah blah). So, what better way to cash in on that than somehow attach your own name to 2+2 authors. Cheerleading their concepts won't do much, so stir up some controversy, get attention brought to yourself and get yourself discussed on 2+2 boards, etc. If he is really lucky the authors will respond somehow in one of their own articles and he can act all defensive and preach the Caro doctrine , probably culminating in his Real Explanation of what he meant. Which will no doubt include the importance of math but in His context and His statments.
So, Mr. Caro, as you can see, psychology can be used to figure out someone's motives both on and off the " ever-so-exciting gaming tables".
