There are guys selling books, training programs, systems etc. on how to beat the stock market for prices between $1000-$5000. Do you really believe they are any help at beating something as unpredictable,random, and extremely difficult to exploit for profit as the stock market? Of course not. They are basically the sellers get rich quick scam. If just 500 people pay $2500 for something, thats $1,250,000.00 That's what their motivation is for producing these scams. The expense to produce them is almost nothing per unit. None of these people make any money investing in the stock market. They dont even attempt too. Turtle trader is a good example of a stock market scam.
And this shister gets plenty of press.
Well, this is very similiar to that. I don't care what the content of these books is. They are about a game played with one standard deck of playing cards. It's not rocket science. $2500 is outrageous. He made that price up with his imagination. He just wants your money, obviously. I laugh my ass off when I read stuff like its a "phd program for Omaha" or it's only a fee buyins. He probally doesnt have a college degree let alone a phd in anything. Maybe he should sell a book directed at 200-400PLO players and sell it for 20K. Then it's only half a buy-in. The correct way to look at this is its 100 times the price of a 2+2 book. Do you think subjectively a buyer is getting 100 times the value? Please. Another thing, this guy plays 2-4PLO online. Great credentials. How impressive. He's not exactly Phil Galfond or Brian Hastings.
Think of the alternatives to high priced book nonsense. For the price of this book, you can sign up to all the training sites and have a ton of other poker books. My advice to get good at Omaha is to read a few $20 books on Omaha, watch videos by the best players online, and use

If you are foolish enough to want this. Hold out 12 months. When no buys this. He's gonna cut the price 50%. And still when it doesnt sell, he'll have to cut it another 50%. By the times anyone bites on this, it will cost $399.95 for all 4 books. Hmmm, for that price, I rather sign up for Bluefirepoker and learn from Phil"OMGCLAYAIKEN" Galfond. Alternatives, tough decision. Anyway, good luck at the tables.
