Thank you for taking the time to put this info into print. I know I have hounded you for the better part of a year now for the completion of the book. I will have it completed by end of next week.

I will actually play less this week to digest the information put in print knowing in the long run this will make me a better player both live and online!!

Again I personally can't thank you enough for taking the time to educate me at becoming a better poker player.

I would like to hear your thoughts - both what you liked/disliked - when you are done. My goal is to make the ultimate starter book for the more serious lower-limit players. Your feedback is invaluable and greatly appreciated.

You don't need a PayPal account to purchase the book. Just a valid credit card.

The simple fact is, if you want to improve, the real investment is not the relatively few $$$ you pay for a book - it's the time you put into studying.

Read both. Why wouldn't you?
Thank you for your comment, DiamondDog.

I'll give it a try. I read many good things about it ... I placed my order yesterday.

What are the biggest areas that you think this book overlooks?

When I looked into it, Amazon takes 70% of the profits on any book over $10. They take 30% of the profits on any book under $10. Neither way makes sense for me right now. The formatting of it is also meh on the kindle when I initially tried it.

As far as ebook, my main concern is piracy. I just don't know enough about DRM/etc to effectively distribute it. So - I'm def not ruling out the possibility in the future, but I just have no plans for it atm.

That is understandable. Very poor pricing structure from Amazon imo and I understand you not wanting to go that route. I now understand why authors either go full price or less than 10 dollars on the kindle books now which has always confused me.

Unfortunately I do all of my reading on my Kindle fire since getting it in December and likely won't purchase without some sort of ebook format. If you change your mind I'll be first to purchase

Edit: GL with your sales though, hope you crush!

Re: Building a Bankroll, Full Ring Edition

I'm a buyer for the e-book version when it comes out.

Living in Africa makes the postage and packing cost prohibitive.

Re: Building a Bankroll, Full Ring Edition

If I wasn't running so bad at the moment, I would have ordered a copy by now, as Pawel's posts on 2+2 are uniformly excellent. While I grind a few thousand more hands in the hope of getting my greenline a little bit closer to EV, I'll just have to salivate.

Is there a chapter on how to win coin-flips?

No, but my last CR video specifically discusses the art of winning flips and how good it is for your winrate. I think I won all of them I offered coaching at $1,000/session specifically on that topic.
