Daniel,

Why don't you yourself find someone to take a piece of David or Mason (maybe Steve Wynn)? Since neither of them want to play for 100K even with the spot. Of course since David says he won't play at the Wynn out of respect for the Bellagio, and Mason says he is too busy, even that probably wouldn't work.

I do find that these two renowned poker theoreticians talking like heads-up poker is some kind of an alien thing to them to strain credulity.

Best of luck with your future contests.

Wow, that's a tough sell my friend. If they kind find ayone to stake them I don't see how I could?

Daniel,

Awesome post...

One thing though, it would really help us understand the sudden interest in heads-up challenges if you could somehow describe the nature of your agreement with Steve Wynn.

Hi Dog:

I am too busy to play for an evening. I'm in the middle of proofreading Harrington on Hold 'em: Volume II and it is tough going. We have agreed to do an in store promotion in Borders with this book that starts June 20. For us to make this date, I have to work non-stop the next week to 10 days, and then there can be no printing glitches.

Just to give you a specific of how busy I've been this year, my total hours at the poker table from 1/1/05 to now is about 90. I remember when I use to play almost everyday.

Best wishes,
Mason

Hi Revolt:

I do have a lot of help. But the typesetting and final proofreading must be done by me.

Best wishes,
Mason

Hi citanul:

Actually it's even stronger than you suggest. We have already purchased a promotion in Borders that begins on June 20. If we don't have the book in time, and it's going to be close, we lose the amount of this purchase and it is much more than the figure you suggest.

Best wishes,
Mason

It's quite simple - the big game (2k/4k; 4k/8k or whatever in this range) has not moved from Bellagio!!!!!! At least not yet...

True...

But I don't think David or Mason are actively looking for backers. They basically don't want to Tango at the Wynn with you [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Mason,

Why can't you farm out some of the raw proofreading? I'm sure there are poker playing proofreaders who would spot both spelling/grammatical errors and poker mistakes.

Hi TransientR:

A lot of the proof reading has to do with exactly the way I want the final type setting to look. That just can't be farmed out.

Best wishes,
Mason

Don't feel bad, not counting tournamanets, that's more than Daniel.
