It's a good book. Make sure you get good and stoned before reading the last chapter.

I bought the book a while ago but haven't spent much time reading since. I'm nearly through it now and would recommend it.

Like anything with the 2+2 logo, it's well-worth the price of admission and the time you'll invest reading it.

I highly recommend this book. It has a great chapter on what the odds of someone holding AA or KK if you have AK. At the end David writes on topics that might have greater impact to society that the odds of someone holding AA... I wish he'd use that horsepower in his noggin to go further into those areas. Or perhaps he does and I'm just not aware.

Good read, don't finish it by reading the last essay after midnight just before going to sleep...

as with everything ds has written about poker, it is terrific. the essays are on different subjects, which can hit a hole in your game, or just make you think differently about a subject. i know it will help your game.
