I know nothing about this book.

is it possible to get that book as a normal pocketbook to Germany ?
on amazon they seem to only have the kindle version

We ship worldwide. http://professionalpoker.com/IP.php?...&productID=484

Why do you think it is worthless?

hi,
when is book 2 coming out?
on bookdepository it says 166 days to go.
Could you let me know, thanks.

He mentioned earlier after the WSOP, not sure though.

Thanks for the copy and great meeting you the other day at the WSOP. Read about 1/2 the book so far and enjoying it. Looking forward to the next one already!

Thanks,
Zac

I am enjoying the book, and reading the fundamentals section made me realize how complacent I have become.

A big thing that has annoyed me with the book, though, is that it seems like there are more hand examples with 60-70bb effective stacks in the "Very Deep Stacks: 125+bb" section than deep stack examples.

There was another part that said "we'll deal with this in more depth in the 'xxx' section in the next chapter" when that section actually appeared in the previous chapter.

But all in all I am liking the book a lot and looking forward to volume 2.

[QUOTE=CardSharpCook;26731507]Being aware of this book reminds me of this idiotic thread I made in MTT 5 years ago after winning the Stars Sunday in which I basically claimed to know the secrets of winning MTTs. Positive variance can make you feel like a god. It can make you think, at the age of 26, that you have some sort of deep insight into the game and need to share it with the world. If I could visit 26yo Brendan, I'd shake him by the shoulders and say, "you don't know what the **** you're talking about you ****ing noob. Sure, you have a general grasp of the game, and maybe even some interesting insights, but positive variance has colored your thinking WAY too much!" Oh to be 26 again

My pick for post of the year

Finished the book and have to say it is an impressive read especially during wsop time, think you were behind my table on the 2,5k. And i definitely like the fact that you did not use charts on purpose, because all guys want fix things but as explained well there is nor fix recipe since you constantly need to adjust and sometimes cut your bottom opening range or widen it.

I got a minor question, if you say sth like opening A2+ MP do you also refer A2o as well ? b/c i feel that you dont make a difference between suited and unsuited when it comes to opening hands in the book.

I know a lot of guys think being suited makes a hand playable or unplayable. While this is true with the suited connectors, it isnt so much with Ax hands because you are playing them mainly because it is unlikely anyone else has anything because you have a blocker. So, when I say A2, I generally mean any A2. Obviously being suited should add a little value but not near as much as most people assume.

Want to say I thought the book was excellent , while I mostly play live full ring was still able to intergrate a lot of the floating concepts into my play . Thank you , looking forward to volume II.

Is this book available anywhere around Vegas during the WSOP? I checked for it in the book vendors at the Rio and didn't see it; I'd like to pick it up.

Try Gambler's Book Club or Gambler's General Store (two different places).

[QUOTE=statictheory;27208901] I think Jonathan has shown himself to be more than a one hit wonder.

I have it in stock in Henderson or I can mail it to your hotel room.

Sory, I did not there was some place for people to stop by to do business with you. I thought it was all mail order.

I have some feedback on the layout of the book. The typeface in the print edition is a little hard to read. (It doesn't seem to be as bad on the pages where there is a graphic to break up the text, but on pages that are all text are hard on the eyes.)

Is the same typeface used in the Kindle version?

ok first of all let me say i found johathan little to be accessible by pm .

as an person who only plays mtts online where the starting stacks are 1500 or there abouts so i found the most helpful chapters for me was 13/14 where it talks about how to play a 15 to 27 bbs as i was recently watching online videos and reading winning poker tournaments one hand at a time volume 2 to learn about restealing stacks.

another thing i was suprised about is the front are slightly bigger then your standard poker book so that could of gave it another 2 pages ehh but that is ok for it makes it an easier read.

he says for volume two, he says he will talk about what to do away from the table to be a excellent player, expand on reads, with a" full section on tells that most players will find new" . and teach you to how to think on a daily basis of poker.

to be truthful,, unless these tells are not covered in phil hellmuth tells book or mike caro book there is no reason really to include it in volume two, or those books have gone out of print.

it is clear that this book is for live play, and so the next one will probaly be more lived base focus,, i thought before ordering it that despire the big stack emaphsis , due to his connection with float the turn, and his johnathan little secrets sit and go site, that it would be more online based.

i do think that the deeper stack tournies online cost more so that is where this book will help me the most if i ever get up to that level.
i just dont' think that right now ,, it can help me at the micro online tournies that much due to the small starting stack of 1500 instead of 10,000.
that being said,, i will give it a deeper read in the while to come, i havent' watched any of the videos yet with the code ,, either.

all that said,, if someone is playing these deep stacks tournies and trying to do hoh type of play this book can help them get further i would imagine :

Hi Jonathan,

I just want to drop in to congratulate you on this great book.
I've read it twice now and I really wished this book would had been available when I started with tournament play, I wouldnt have a lot of my bad, nittish tendecies then.

Can't wait for the second part.

Im glad you liked it. Being a nit usually isnt good. Im glad it has helped you break out of the nit shell. Good luck!

Hi Jonathan,

I'm interested in getting a copy of your books, but have been wondering how the books compare to the video series. Are the strategies the same ?

Thanks

The strategies are basically the same although they are in a format that is structured for reading, which means it will be more like a text book than a video that explains whatever concepts come up in the video.

Ordering very soon, excited!

I'm VERY excited as well... will be placing order today for the Kindle!
