Re: Why hasn\'t 2+2 written the definitive PLOH book?
Wouldn't you think they would write the definitive NLHE book first?

I don't think many people who write NLTH books are adding much to the field. If you read TOP/Supersytem (if only to understand aggression) and Harrington's 2 volumes on tourney play.... you've pretty well covered for NLTH. Unfortunately, I can't name three books that teach you the ins and outs of Omaha as well. There's definitely room for someone to write a better book on Omaha.

Re: Why hasn\'t 2+2 written the definitive PLOH book?
[ QUOTE ]
About two weeks ago Mason, in replying to the same posted question, said he has no plans to publish any books on PLO. [/ QUOTE ] Really? It's getting popular...At the $0.1 - $0.25 stakes, there's normally between 7 and 11 games, and even the formerly dead $0.25 - $0.50 level is finally getting some action. It wasn't THAT popular this summer when I started playing it. I just wish 2+2 would use the most prolific PLOH cash player of the decade (Slotboom) to write a book on Omaha, rather than on LHE (although I know he's among the best in the world at middle LHE as well.).

Re: Why hasn\'t 2+2 written the definitive PLOH book?
I'm not qualified to judge who the best is but I like Rolf very much too -- strong, very nice and humble. I already asked him several times if he would write a PLO book, he said he had no plan to do so, mainly b/c "he wants the book to sell well" -- so he said....

Re: Why hasn\'t 2+2 written the definitive PLOH book?
From what I know from what Rolf writes, and more importantly what the people who played him in Amsterdam said about how he played, the number of people who could play a Rolf S way and win would be very very small. This isn't disrespectful, before you start, as most of them said nice things about him [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
How much do you expect to get out of a book anyway? gl dd

Re: Why hasn\'t 2+2 written the definitive PLOH book?
It seems that the 2+2 crew does not care for PL/NL poker very much. Anyone know why this is? I know in "Poker Essays" Mason had a few articles of why FL was a harder game to play and one or two articles showing his dislike of omaha poker (although im almost certain it was limit omaha).
