Oh yes! I'd love audio 2+2. I have the audio book "Positively Fifth Street" by McManus. What a joy to hear that book in the car! How great it would be to hear the 2+2 books too!
I woudn't have a clue how to duplicate the card examples, though. Just describe them, I guess. |

I spend over an hour a day on the road commuting to work. 2+2 audio books would be an awesome way to work on my game during this time.

I think this is a pretty good idea.
P.S. Mason, if you are interested in finding someone with a BBC accent to pay inordinate sums of money to and to arrange for a return trip to Vegas for (charged to the company), look no further. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Re: 2+2 AudioBooks?? Mason?
I've created my own 2+2 audiobooks and listen to them on my ipod. I use three items to create the mp3s:
1. C-Pen 800C 2. TextAloud MP3 TextAloud MP3 3. Neospeech Voices I basically scan in the text word for word, do a spell check to fix any errors, then manually update the text to correct [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] symbols to s, d, h, c. I’ve also created a custom dictionary so that hands like AKs will be spoken as Ace King suited and hands such as 8h6d will be read as Eight of Hearts, Six of Diamonds. I am an amateur VB.Net programmer (I wrote a SSH preflop quizzer and Sklansky Tournament System programs, but that is a topic for a different day), so it made creating the dictionary for every possible 2-card combination easier than typing 1326 separate entries. I know this sounds like quite a bit of work, but I travel often and exercise 4 times per week, so I have a lot of time to listen to them. My 2+2 audiobook library currently contains: SSH Notes (created by me) SSH Starting Hands SSH Hand Quizzes SSH Q&A TPFAP Q&A Sklansky, The Video (stripped out the video and converted to mp3) I also have some other misc poker mp3s, mostly by Mike Caro (3-4 hours worth). Finally, I have the chapter summaries for ITH. I have about 25 poker books, so I will be adding to my collection. New York Jet P.S. Please don't request copies or samples (Mason would be an exception to this). |

Get a mic and start reading. HPFAP took me about 10 days. Also get a glass of water.
