Any reviews of this book?

Never even heard of the book or the author so I did a google search. Other than this thread, I got no good hits.

Name was misspelled a bit, jeremy steinhausen with 1 s. The book is $65 ebook, checking his results on PTR (based on his Pokerstars name found on youtube videos) he doesnt have great results in 6max (according to PTR) which I am more interested in 6max than FR, but looking at the Grader feature on PTR, he gets A's on all streets so I will prob. buy this book.

Here is the link to the book page

$65 its 150 pages, I'll prob. buy it, its got me curious. I wasnt thrilled with the sample pages, but I look past that anyways.

My initial impression is not very impressed. I have no idea how he came up with advertising it as 150 pages on his website but that's misleading. The PDF is 95 pages and the last 10 are completely blank. Not joking! The book might have 70 pages of actual content and that is being very generous.

Another thing is it won't convert onto the Kindle because the PDF is password protected. I mean seriously is it to much to ask to be able to read an e-book on an e-reader? It's not like it's a $1500 e-book and even then how well did the security features work on an e-book like Let There Be Range to prevent pirating?

Those two things alone were big turn offs for me. I've read the entire book and content wise it seems to be okay, but it seems some topics could have been covered in more detail. Then maybe it would have actually been close to 150 pages. Perhaps content wise it's worth $65 but knowing what I know now, if I had it to do over again I would probably pass on purchasing it.

Hey Guys,

I bought his book a few weeks ago, I think there are some very valuable concepts in this book... A lot of good hand analysis and examples that I thought were good. One thing I really liked was how he broke down different EV situations (example AA & KJ 3bet EV, calling EV of KJ ect). I also liked the "which player is making more money?" examples. Easy to read format, able to print it out too which was nice. Overall very well done.

I recommend this book.

I am a MSNL reg and I thought the book was excellent. I know for a fact that Jeremy immerses himself in NL strategy and he takes the content of this book extremely seriously. As far as his play goes, I have no idea what kind of PTR results he has but I can promise you he is one of the best regs that I know and that is saying a lot.

I did buy and read his book, and I have to say it is totally worth its price. As a nl100 starter it helped me come to think of new ways to play some hands, specially out of position.

The hand quiz part where he shows some hands he has played was very helpful, but the chapter about EV of 3betting vs calling for some hands was definitely the biggest help for me, for late position 3bet pot wars.

Sorry that you felt like I mis represented the length of the book. What I was trying to express is that the book was not edited to "traditional" standards, and as such content wasnt spread out over a bunch of pages like other published books are. If my book had been released by one of the "well known" ebook publishing sites, it would in fact have been 150 pages or more. I changed the way I worded this so there is no confusion in the future. Very sorry that you had a bad experience with your purchase, I read your post and improved my services because of it, thank you!

These are the kind of post's I love reading, thanks for taking the time guys!

I find this reply annoying since it implies that a traditional publisher like 2+2 is deceptive in how we type-set our books. But there is a simple solution. What is the word count in your book and I can give you an approximate 2+2 page count.

No. Publishers have a right to protect their copyright and it is currently not possible to password protect in kindle format.

I guess as a consumer, I feel like I should have more rights to what I purchase, especially considering we are talking about a virtual book, where if I buy the book hardcopy I have more "ownership" of the product, its not that I disagree with protecting electronic versions, its just that as a consumer we are the ones getting shafted, the pirates get around it regardless and I pay for all the DRM crap and it sucks.

But as to the original concern about reading it on an e-reader, does kindle not support pw protected pdf? the nook did, and since this is a "text" file of sorts the Nook can change font sizes, etc.. and its flowing text and reads just fine.

I did get this book, btw, but I havent had time to read through much of it yet.

Kindle has their own DRM format which will prevent the document from being extracted or copied to other devices.

No. Amazon has their own DRM format, but we as an independent publisher do not. Thus we can produce ebooks for a kindle but we can't protect them. So, for instance, if you go to our 2+2 store, you will see that some of our books are available directly from us as an e-book, but not in kindle format. For that, you need to go to Amazon.

I can open the e-book on my Kindle even though it is password protected but in the format it's in it is virtually unreadable. In order for it to be readable the file needs to be converted to the Kindle format and that's not possible with a password protected file. I don't have a problem with publishers protecting their work but as a consumer if I buy a book especially an e-book I believe I should be able to read it on an e-reader such as the Kindle.
