Re: Nasty NL book rumors
OK, now that we know the nature of the book and an ETA, for those of us who have been playing limit poker almost exclusively and want to get into PL and NL, are there any other books we could get our noses into while we wait for Ed's book?

I have utter confidence that there will be no "competitive" book coming out before or within six months afterward in the same way no book as even close to touched Theory of Poker. And the only way a "competitive" book would come out after six months is if a very smart person read it and tried to adapt and extend upon it. Just a little Sklansky-esque bravado to whet your appetite. [/ QUOTE ] You [censored] tease. My heart, she is on fire with desire for this book.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm reading TOP for the second time. I was a beginner when I read it the first time and I thought I understood it pretty well. I was wrong. I am now struck by the realization that even the best books I have read since then (SSH, WTOHP, HOH) are good because they include restatements, extensions, clarifications, and examples of the ideas in TOP. Great as it may be, I expect the same will be true of this NL book.

Re: Nasty NL book rumors
I hope you are right Ed. Mason pimped HoH II as a book that would...
[ QUOTE ] cause a sensation because of it's discussion of what the authors Dan Harrington and Bill Robertie call "Inflection Points." [/ QUOTE ] I believe it fell short of causing a sensation. Anyone playing SnGs and reading the STT forum regularly was already aware of this. You said yourself that... [ QUOTE ] several HUNDRED THOUSAND people are going to read the book. The concepts of tournament poker are not going to be as obvious to every one of them as they are to you. [/ QUOTE ] SSH on the other hand did cause a sensation, even for regular small stakes players. I guess what I am wondering is, will the new NLH book cause a sensation among 2+2 regulars or just the general public?

"SSH on the other hand did cause a sensation, even for regular small stakes players. I guess what I am wondering is, will the new NLH book cause a sensation" Dan Harrington is a very smart guy. But he didn't go to MIT.
