Missing a page? Dbl check 4 me plz - How good is your limit holdem?
Can one of you guys hook up a fellow 2+2er and check your copy to see if I am missing page? I need to make sure if it is an actual error or if the book is just fine.
I dont want to have to go through hassle of doing an exchange through Amazon. The book is "How good is your limit hold'em?" by Byron Jacobs with Jim Brier. Page 19 looks fine and the very last sentence at the bottom of the page reads, "Hopefully this book will help you to arrive at the correct decisions to pursue these joint strategies." I turn the page to page 20 and the entire page is blank. Next page is page 21 and it list "Hand 1: Bizarre Bunch" along with the introduction ...page 21 looks fine. Is this correct that page 20 is suppose to be completely blank or am I actually missing page 20? Thanks! |

Page 20 is indeed blank. It is customary to start new sections of a book on a right hand page.

So now that you have started to write pokerbooks Byron, I guess that there will be no more books on The Benko Gambit .. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Darts
No, but poker has killed my darts. I used to travel to all of the major tournaments in the U.S. in hopes of making a couple of thousand per year. Now I stay home and make that in a few weeks.

Re: Chess
I think its very common. I know a ton of moderate standard chessplayers (international master standard) who are now focussing on Poker. For a decent chessplayer, poker is not that difficult a game to pick up. Of course, Poker can be highly complex but the learning curve to become a competent player is very much steeper in chess.
However, the key point is that the rewards in chess are utterly pathetic. The top ten players make decent money, but noone else. There is very much more scope for excellence to be rewarded in poker. |

Re: Chess
I was an expert and I haven't played a chess game in over five years. A friend of mine who was a master hasn't played in a few years either since he started playing poker on the internet. So I think it is quite common.

Re: Chess
I would play chess again, but only if PRE-CHESS were to take it's place...that or Fischer ramdom chess. Anything to take the boosk out of it. Also, I might wait till we get to at least 12 piece "endings" as 8 just isn't enough.

Oh dear. It sounds like you are rather relieved that my chess book writing career has come to an end. I certainly am - but I was rather hoping that readers might feel otherwise.
Anyway the Benko is no good - just loses a pawn for nothing. However, it did take me 20 years to spot that. The Nimzo-Indian is a uch better bet. |

No not relieved ... I enjoed your book, especialy the one you wrote win Andrew, after strugling against the Benko always, I finally was able to put a dent in it.
Anyways I have bought your limitpoker book, saving it for the hollidays though .. I sure has gotten good reviews, but one remark from me, That big glossy ad for some obscure site at the end of the book is annoying and ruins the feel of the book .. *Shaking my head* [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
