Absolutely no threads about it on the live forum or the archive, and it's certainly not worth creating a thread about it, so NC here we are.

Has anyone read Getting the Best of It? It's probably a little too 'general' for most players who are just interested in making a few bucks at 2/4. But for the anal like me, this book is phenomenal. I love the slightly better description of using game theory to bluff, and the sections on odds, EV, and Bayes Theorem are great. Things I already knew, presented in a much better way with new ideas to ponder. The best sections, however, are clearly the 'Interesting Dice Proposition' (8 6 vs 7 7) and the 'Another Gambling Paradox' chapters. The latter is required reading for anyone who has ever muttered the phrase 'multiway hand'. This is good, good stuff, and if you ever care to take your game beyond a preflop chart and 1.5bb/100 at 1/2 and really understand gambling (which is what we are doing), this is a great place to start.
