Fantastic book!!!

Nice design and easy to read.
One of the best and most comprehensive books on limit holdem. The section on shorthanded is the best material i have ever found in print. I also like all the math being shown in the book.


Thanks Mr. Yao!

I just checked Amazon.ca and Yao's book is now ranked #337.

That is incredible given that the book just came out and doesn't get the publicity of publishers such as Cardoza or TwoPlusTwo.

Congratulations King!

Hi avatar:

Actually it's not. This website is a tremendous driver for poker book sales. So when a book gets favorable comments here by a fair number of people, the Amazon numbers can get very good.

best wishes,
mason

I agree with Mason. The numbers on Amazon right now is clearly due to this thread on TwoPlusTwo.

Skimmed through the sample chapter. Definitely looks promising. I'm gonna wait a little while to read some more concrete reviews but if the feedback is solid I'll be sure to pick this up in the next couple months.

I type in Weighing the odds and NO author
it comes up with a statistics book by a different author.

I type in the full title and Yao as the autor and
it says .. No matches

I go back to the first shortened entry
Weighing the odds but with Yao as the author
Bingo

Will it be in any B&amp;M store as I want to Win the Pot RIght NOW rather than wait 3-5 weeks.

A ringing endorsement by a guy who has put out a pretty good book himself.

King, I like your chances.
