Default Mastering No Limit Hold\'Em Question

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew the target audience of the new Mastering No Limit Hold Em book coming out next week. It wasn't mentioned in the last post about the book, and I tried e-mailing Chuck since he's the publisher, but have not had a reply yet. Anyone know any more about the book?

Thanks in advance...

I just ordered it so I'll let you know next month [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It doesn't seem like a beginners guide to NL. Here is the review from Amazon:

Book Description
Because of television, the game of choice for most new poker players is no-limit Hold'em. This has led to changes in the game. With so many players trying to emulate their TV heroes, they tend to play too many weak hands, call too many bets with marginal to poor holdings, and try to make too many big bluffs. Today's skilled player must learn to adapt to these changes in this complex game.
This book covers all aspects of the smaller, fixed buy-in, no-limit hold'em games from understanding your opponents to learning about pot odds. Included are topics seldom written about such as finding the proper amount to bet, how to manage your mental game, bankroll considerations, and how to beat the rake. Also introduced is "The Matrix Theory: " a unique tool for understanding just what hands you should play and how they should be played depending on a matrix of considerations few think about.

If you are looking for the most comprehensive guide to fixed buy-in cash games, you need this book!

that doesn't really contradict the idea that the book is for total beginners.

I ordered it, but I pretty much order every new NL book.

Chuck? Russell? Scott? Mason? Anyone?

I'm sure I'm not the only one that wants to find out soon to take advantage of the discounted price on Conjelco :-p

Discount Schmiscount.

Amazon:
Book = $24.95
S&H = Free
Ttl = $24.95

Conjelco:
Book = $17.50
S&H = $5.50
Ttl = $23.00

Big deal. I am hoping to receive it more quickly by going direct though.

They have had quite a few pre-sale book on there recently. Getting Started In Hold Em was on there a few weeks back for like $12-$13. I don't see it on there now though.

Better reread that free shipping policy.

Also, factor THIS in:

Support that Amazon gives the 2+2 boards = X
Support that Conjelco/Chuck gives these boards = Y

Y/X = number of times you should buy from Chuck before Amazon
