Any moron can say that I was looking for recommendations based on books people have ready. I can find titles

I realize it would probably be far too difficult for you to read one of the hundred prior threads on the topic for suggestions and then (here's where it gets tricky) eliminate the books you have already (assuming you were able to actually read them, which I doubt given that your posts here are barely intelligible).

I know better but I just couldnt resist so I used the search engine and I saw your recommendations. Wow "Big Masterbation"...... I guess you are a jerk off! Impressive. Other than that I see you offer little or no help.

I offer help where warranted. I don't offer help to people too lazy to help themselves.

Wow - this place is getting more like RGP everyday.

Yeah - jake really loves to annoy people here. What can you do.

Anyway, I haven't read any of them (yet), but maybe Poker, Sex & Dying: Inside the Mind of a Gambler, by Juel E. Anderson, or Profiling Poker "Nitwits" by G. Ed Conly is something like what you are looking for. I have read good things about PS&D; PPN I know nothing about.

Thanks, appreciate the time

This is not true. I just get tired of people clogging up the forum with the same questions over and over just because they're too lazy to look for the answer themselves.

Jake man, way too angry now, just recommend one of your usual favorites with a link to a funny book cover.

It's a common phenomenon in a number of forums. Not in the really old ones as far as I've seen, meaning that have been around for 5+ years. Some veterans will take Jake's position and constantly berate users who repeat questions asked very often (Ex:"How do I get a six-pack?" in fitness forums, or "Would Fischer of 1972 beat Kasparov 2005" in chess forums, etc.), and others will just answer, even if it is the 100th time they have done so.

My personal position in such matters is to answer, or if I'm going to refer to an older thread that I recall as having been very informative, then I'll link to it. The reason is simply that search engines are usually not terribly helpful, and produce so much noise in the replies, you might as well Google. I don't mean just threads that do not answer the question as the key words were in the posts for whatever reason, but also random chatting between members. It means one can do a lot of reading and skimming before one finds what one wants, and even so, one may miss better or higher quality threads/posts due to the way the query was entered into the Search.

Yes we will love the link to that "big" book.
That's a classic Jake post.
