Right here on the forums actually. Are you saying it's false?

p.s. There's no need for you to be such a dick about this.

That's all you ever say in any of your posts (which tend to be completely useless). I sense a large amount of sarcasm in all of these posts. I have also heard that you're some kind of Lee Jones "fanboy" and now have some personal problem with 2+2 because of SSH.

Eh, yeltzen's ok. He rips on my book, but some of the stuff he says is really funny, so it's all good. This one was choice.

Mason called him Boris too, which is cool.

That is funny. I guess I rest my case. Maybe you should put him on the payroll for marketing purposes.

I don't have a payroll. I'm just a pawn... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The 5 or 10 minutes a day that I leave my house, I have a t-shirt with the cover of SSH silkscreened on the front. If they put me on the payroll, I'll have the back cover put on the back.

All right. I was all happy of the 14 new replies, but the majority were all replies to the troll. Oh well. At least a few people piped in about the book [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

I haven't read any of the stereotyping, but I haven't read all the book yet. If it's the same book, that's awful for sure.

Now. A question related to this. What would you think about a local billiards/gambling store not having Sklansky in stock, suggesting Warren's book enthusiastically before inviting me to their tournaments. Trying to fleece the sucker or just don't know any better? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hopefully my real books will get here soon... hehe.

Best advice ever is his section on playing against players with tattoos. He believe that is a player is stupid enough to permanently mark their body, then they cannot possibly be a good poker player.

Ok, are we kidding here? I had some issues with the first such thing raised up, now this? I find nothing of this at all in my book. Are you guys talking about some other book than "Ken Warren Teaches Texas Hold'em"? If not, please do point out where those statements appear in there. I haven't read any of this crazy stuff.

I believe its in the section about player images. He talks about how crippled people in wheelchairs tend to be tigher players, cause they aren't going anywhere for a while. And the part about tattoos. And i believe a little something about women, and likely some hugely offensive racial stereotypes.
