Re: How much information about poker strategy is really available?
I think the knowledge in books is best defined as "Solid ABC Poker". Divulging it does not negatively affect the authors in any way.
Not only does it generate income for them, but it also increases the pool of players that are still far worse than they are.
So they make money and generate new targets at the same time. (Granted they may not play you specifically, but they are increasing the overall playing pool as a whole, which does trickle up to them.)
I don't think you will ever get a really solid book on the specific advanced aspects of poker unless a poker genius decides to do so later in life just to show how smart they are [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
Everyone says Sklansky's TOP is one of the most advanced books, but it is filled with fairly vague generalizations. The best source for that advanced knowledge is still the mid/high stakes forums [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
