Hi verneer. I am halfway through your e-book and would like to thank you for all your help that you've provided through this excellent book, and also through your excellent posts on this forum.

I was just wondering if you could elaborate on a sentence in your book. On page 92 in the section regarding "Calling Versus a Steal", you state that
"Additionally, 66-88 in the small blind will often be a call regardless of your reads on the players still in the hand".
I am just curious as to why it would be a call regardless of the reads? Especially if there is a LAG shortstacker still to act, or something else of similar nature that would induce a raise without the implied odds to call?
Thanks in advanced!

I imagine I'll get a biased suggestion but how good is this book for 5NL? Is Crushing the Microstakes a better option and this is suited more for 10NL and up?

If you play 5NL FR on Stars, I think Crushing the Microstakes is a great starting option for you. BlackRain has crushed those limits and knows what he's talking about.

Thanks for your response! I'll be playing zoom though and as I understand your book is Rush-centric. At what level do you think your book becomes most applicable?

I would say my book has no "lowest applicable limit" and is good up to and including 100NL (Where I played the bulk of my Rush hands in 2011).

Just bought the ebook. Looking forward to reading it. Any chance someone could post the links to Verneer's challenge threads?

Verneer, I'm currently playing with 17/11.4/5.9 over 14k hands.
What range should our HUD stats be in line with? You say that your Vpip/PFR/3bet are normal on page 168, so ideally should we be within:
VPIP - 11%-14%
PFR - 70% of VPIP
3bet - 5%-6%
and is the 3bet% from number of hands or based on VPIP?

The 3-bet stat is the percentage of times you 3-bet when you had the opportunity to do so. e.g. You can't 3-bet if you are UTG, but you tend to have lots of opportunities to 3-bet if you are in the blinds.
I'd recommend you post your positional stats in the Beginners Questions "official stats thread", as a few of us enjoy doing some leak-busting. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/32...thread-361070/

I'm interested in buying this book however I'm a little confused - when I proceed to checkout it asks me to fill in shipping address etc but I'm buying a PDF - why do you need a shipping address? or is it just a formality - also can I pay you via moneybookers (skrill)

It is required by the payment processor. We accept credit cards, PayPal & Neteller. The important info is city, postal code and country. You can phony up the street address.

Unfortunately Moneybookers has zero customer support in the U.S. and I won't do business with a payment processor that does not offer live support.

Are the contents of this book also applicable for full ring rush games? (25 and 50NL).

All the hands (and thus all the examples in the book) that I played in 2011 were at the Full Ring Rush tables.

Hi Verneer,

Thanks for responding. How long would it approximately take for the paperback version to arrive in the netherlands? Also, once i order the paperback, would a pdf version also be immediately available for download? Im guessing not?

Thanks!

No, that is a separate purchase. If anyone wants both, buy the paperback from here, then PM me for a $15 coupon code for use toward the Adobe DRM PDF download.

Thanks PF,

Although your offer makes it slighty more attractive to order both, i think its a bit unfair to make a customer pay for both versions. I can understand the book costs slighty more than the pdf version and heck im willing to pay a few more dollars to get a hold of the pdf version so i dont have to wait for the payback, but a total of 50% extra for something that is digitally available, while already paying for the main product? Seems a little harsh to me.

Just my 2 cents.

Agreed, I recently bought the paperback at full price - I was hoping to get a mobile copy for a nominal price, if not free.

Poor show really - your overheads on providing an e-book copy to accompany the paperback are negligible are they not?

Poor service compared to another poker book I have which has just recently brought out kindle & epub versions and has offered them FOC to all previous purchasers.

So I just purchased the Adobe version and I can't even read it, for some reason the reader is extremely laggy and it takes decades to scroll through one page. Anyone run in to something like this and know how to fix it?

Yeah I am on PC and I just noticed that post, tried changing the compatibility to XP and others listed and everything was still laggy =/. Seems crisp right up until I reach the first chapter

edit: is there a way I can transfer the eBook to BlueFire? I wouldn't mind reading on my iPhone I guess

I just purchased this last night. I didn't realize it was Full Ring edition, but from what i have read everything has been applicable to 6 max.

Am about 70 pages in, but is really good info.
