King Yao Starting Hand Chart
There are numberous versions of Ed Miller's starting hand charts out there, in both PDF and Excel format. I was wondering if anyone has a copy of a similar chart for Yao. I am trying to do a comparison of the two. Appreciate any help you guys can offer.

That would be copywritted material.

Re: King Yao Starting Hand Chart
Just to put the copyright issue to bed, COPYING a SUBSTANTIAL part of a work in which copyright subsists would infringe copyright. The so-called "Miller Charts" floating about do not look like anything found in SSHE. They are someone else's representation of the information found in SSHE (and attract copyright in their own right). As correctly pointed out by others, copyright does not protect information per se, only the expression of that information. Where tabulations of data are concerned, the threshhold for infringing copyright is in fact quite high.
Thus, you are free to use the info in Yao's book to create your own chart, just don't copy his chart! |

I found a better copy out there to replace mine. I don't suppose for a minute that Ed would be pissed about it, and I would think any court would laugh at my measly little chart. I was hoping I could find on for Yao's book as well, but if not, I can make my own. By the way, the word you were trying to reference is "copyrighted". |

Laugh,I almost can't believe I wrote copywritted. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Anyhow, it would appear that its 'ok' for the SSH chart to be here as neither Mason or Ed have said anything about it (as far as I know) but it's totally different to reproduce the work here of an author of a different publishing company without permission. |

MM [/ QUOTE ] I in no way suggested any commercial use in my initial request. The chart I made, as well as the ones I downloaded, gave reference as to where the ideas came from, giving full credit to Miller et. al. |
