why do u never hear about some book authors winning anything?
If they are such experts at the game, and are writing and selling all these books and the advice they dispense, wouldnt you think you'd hear about them more often in poker circles.
Specifically, i'm talking about the likes of Mcevoy, Caro, Vorhaus, silbenstang. They ahve tons of books out, yet i have never heard any of their names amongst big tournament finishes over the last 5-6 years, and i don't hear about them being in any huge ring games either. Don't mean any disrespect, just an honest question...are they maybe just experts for lower limits type players? |

This uy Brunson also wrote a book - wonder if he is any good.
I do believe Mcevoy was at at least 1 of the Televised Final tables at the WSOP this year. |

It's really not fair using this Brunson character as an example. He is obviously a flash in the pan who got lucky a few times. Let's see if he shows any real staying power over the long term.
I'd prefer to my advice from someone who has been around a little bit. Any yoyo off the bus can catch a hot run and win 9 WSOP bracelets. Don't waste your money on Supersystem; save up until you can afford the DVD's by Chris Moneymaker. What do you wanna be? Good luck all, Fitz |

This is exactly why I'm not going to buy Harrington's book. He never wins. Those back-to-back final tables don't mean anything because he didn't win. Loser. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: why do u never hear about some book authors winning anything?
OK jake..thanks for the sarcasm explanation, i don't think the rest could have figured it out otherwise.
Hmm, lets see if i can explain it at a level you may comprehend. I said SOME of the authors who have many books out, and then went on to mention a few of those i meant, not ALL of the authors. Obvioulsy, harrington, doyle, hellmuth, sklansky and other authors have obviously been able to back up adn demonstrate their expertise...but others not. So, are those ones big cash game players then?? Hence i said i dont mean disrespect, just an honest question. |
