Hi Everyone:

First off, I'm asking the moderators to keep this thread up but to apply our standard moderator rules when it comes to any specific post.

Years ago, I worked as a professional statistician, first for the government at the United States Census Bureau, and then for the Northrop Corporation. In both of these jobs, part of my responsibilities was to make sure that the work produced in the areas I had responsibility was concise and accurate. This meant part of my job was to correct other people's work and not tolerate anything inaccurate that was being presented, or prepared where my job responsibilities reached. This included correcting work done by high level managers as well as high level people who represented our customer.

In 1987 I said goodbye to my friends at Northrop and left my career behind to pursue poker/gambling which included writing about poker/gambling. David Sklansky was already working with me and we agreed that we would not only produce top notch stuff and attempt to move the state of knowledge forward, but would also put distance between ourselves and others, and there were a lot of them back in 1987, whose material was not at the standards we required.

This, along with steering our readers towards material that is also good, even if it is not a Two Plus Two product, and away from anything that we felt was questionable, has been our policy since the very beginning in 1987. We also are very conscious of treating others fairly and this includes paying our authors royalty rates which are almost unheard of in the publishing industry, but we are also willing to stand up when others take shots at us.

One aspect of this is that while we have become appreciated first by the players and now by most others in our industry, there are still some out there who are not pleased with the growth and success of Two Plus Two and have found it difficult to deal with us. And since it is already mentioned in this thread, I assume that this has something to do with our being left out of the Bluff Top 20 even though the past couple of years they included us and in the past year this website has almost doubled in size.

Anyway, over the years, especially once the Internet became important, I have read an amazing number of things concerning myself and the company that just isn't true. This includes reviews of our books where the material is misrepresented as being different from what it is along with explanations as to why the (misrepresented) material is wrong, to attacks on the small apartment I once lived in and the old car that I once drove. On the other hand, I consider this part of the price to pay for the level of success we have had.

By the way, one of the possible reasons that you may hear negative comments concerning me on other radio shows is that it is my policy, with only a few exceptions, not to appear on any of these shows. I prefer to work quietly behind the scenes and do not seek major publicity for myself. This goes back to our original attitude which I formulated with David, and that was to produce top notch stuff and let the product do the talking.

Best wishes,
Mason

2008 called and was happy that you brought up one it's poasts.

If you mean 2+2ers, no, they don't seem to want to. I guess they're a little intimidated. If you mean in general, yes, lots.

Nope.

So you left the safe confines of your house and flew to vegas in order to meet your fellow 4lers, only to be rejected by them?

No.

I just want to make a correction here. "Dr, Malmuth" implies I have a Ph.D, which is not the case.

Best wishes,
Mason

And if he actually disagree with El Diablo and everyone else who has posted in this thread (which he has stated several times that he does and has never retracted those statements) then I would like to hear a thorough explanation of why he still disagrees so that I can understand it better which is why I come here in the first place. Why is that so hard?

Exactly. There are certain posts of mine and others that were 100% correct that Mason summarily and arrogantly dismissed as being incorrect.

Specifically, I posted this simple, detailed, and polite explanation and got this response: "I'm sorry, but I have had enough. I'll let others elaborate."

I have now reconsidered my statement and agree that El Diablo is correct.

I see now that what I was concentrating on was the interesting fact that the existence of future bets would help the jacks in limit (because it can knock out six outs on either the flop or the turn) but against most players those future bets would hurt the jacks and help the ace-queen suited in no limit (because of the increased implied odds).

it takes a big man to admit when you're wrong
