I think this
link just about sums it up. Where as 2+2 authors are specialists in their field that wish to help their readers, Cardoza is an publisher-opportunist whose books just happen to be about gambling. They are generally aimed (with the exception of Super System) at an uneducated market. He is most well known for his table game books, but he is trying hard to break into the poker market recently. Unfortunately only SSII is worth buying within his catalog, and even then only if you like to plan non-hold'em games and you already have a very firm foundation.
Interesting side note, I'm pretty sure that if it wasn't for the fact that he places his name front and center on all his company's books, nobody would have heard of him the gambling world.
This is Cardoza's latest book, if it helps convey the concept. I'm embarrassed for him, but I'm sure his "publish everything and keep what sells" strategy will work once again with this title.
