Re: Book of the Year Nominations
[ QUOTE ]
Poll is bias towards HE books. The greatest o/8 book ever could have come out this year but since it's a less popular game it wouldn't get nearly as many votes as a "mediocre in comparison" HE title that could have been the best HE book of the year.

I buy/read nearly everything that is released and is worth reading, regardless of the game. Unfortunately the only non-HE book released that was good was SS II (which won the hat trick), yet it was still incredibly flawed. The Stud section was pretty decent, as was the two Omaha sections (again not perfect, but the pot limit section might be the best material released to date). Of course the Triple Draw section (specifically 2-7) was very good and filled with new concepts (OK, semi-new concepts... its all rehashed Malmuth Draw and Sklansky TOP principals) but it was poorly written (as was the rest of the book) and Daniel doesn't take the size of the pot into consideration (not surprising based on comments I have read by him).
