I am very interested in the single page version as well. I have not had as much time to jump into this book. That's my fault. Skimming through it I've been very impressed as I posted earlier. If someone purchased the two-page layout would you be willing to send the single page layout which would be significantly better read on my Kindle?

Just checked my e-mail box and I received the one-page PDF version. The customer service that I received from Qtip has been outstanding.

I know there are a number of cynics around here so for full disclosure I've never met Qtip actually had no idea who he was until I stumbled upon this thread and took a flyer on the book.

Re: Poker Math that Matters by Owen "QTip" Gaines

I appreciate the responses here. However,from now on, the business of my books will need to be conducted via other means of contact instead of this forum which is dedicated to discussion of the content of the book. I'll be happy to answer any questions pertaining to that topic.

Thanks,

Owen

The explanation is simply that the picture of that dude at the table was purchased at a royalty free site. So, that's that. Whoever wrote that book (and it looks pretty entertaining ), simply purchased the same picture for his cover.

I assume you're looking at page 90. Can you be more specific about what you feel is incorrect?

Thanks.

"One day you will sit across from Phil Ivey and fight off his powerful aura..." from the introduction on page 21. How can you lose if you've got a "super-activated seventh chakra"? Does anyone know if he has a screen name so I can look at his PTR report?

G-bucks isn't our range of hands vs actual villain holding?
You are referring at G-bucks as our equity against villain's range

No. The only time you'd be concerned about your range of hands is when you're dealing with an opponent who's thinking about your range well. Then you may want to consider balancing your play in some way.

G-Bucks is looking at your play and hand versus the villain's range. You can find Galfond's article on it here:

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/print...110&type=story

It's a great read. Basically Galfond is "improving" on the idea of Sklanksy bucks in the sense that we don't know villain's hand when we're making our decisions. We have to consider his assumed range of hands in order to determine the best play or whether or not we made a mistake in the hand.

quoted from your link

wever, instead of taking your hand and seeing how it does against your opponent's hand, you take the entire range of your hand and see how it does against his hand
