Default Re: Cover Contest: Getting Started in Hold \'em -- Second Try

the 2nd & 3rd ones just rock hard; but honestly I think it's like, distractingly-sexier than the current 2+2 library.

it's like having Jessica Alba model swimsuits w/ the US Women's Shotput Team.

I don't think that understanding stack size is a good blurb for the front of hte book.

Maybe the back instead?

I'm also not 100% sure that the term "nuts and bolts" is what you're looking for.

Ever since you guys republished HEPFAP and SSHE without the hand pictures, I've been wanting to rewrite the rest of your books, so here's my shot at what could be on the cover if I ran the world. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]


Maybe:



Getting Started in Hold'em

Strategy - Tactics - Evaluating Your Play

No-Limit Holdem

Limit Holdem

Tournament Holdem
-Satelites
-Multi-Table Tournaments
-Single-Table Tournaments

Edit: Change Tournament Holdem to Tournament Strategy

Yeha, and I'd just like to add that this is a sweet, sweet cover.

Of course, my desktop is flat grey, so...

So many great entries so far! I was counting on having a bit more time to play around with my ideas, but now that the contest is being locked down tomorrow, it kind of spurred me into motion. I'm at work right now, so this is kind of a first draft, because the pictures I had taken for the purpose of using them on my entries are on my home computer.

Very nicely done! I especially like how the front and back cover merge with the spine of the book.

Tried to keep the basic color scheme of Ed's previous book. Good luck with the selection process.

Default These are excellent!

The best so far, and it's not close.

Here's a slightly improved version of my cover.

There's at least two I like better than this, but maybe I'll get lucky and majorkong likes light tan backgrounds or AJ[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
