I apologize if you has already been mentioned before but this book specifically discussion specific strategy and frequencies for which of the following:

-full ring?
-6max?
-HU?

Thanks.

I played online, and all the examples are for 6-max play. That said, most of the examples involve cutoff vs button or button vs blind situations, as they're the most common and both players have wide ranges which make it easier to illustrate concepts. So it's unlikely full ring UTG vs UTG+1 examples would be as useful since both players would have much stronger and tighter ranges.

The goal of the book is to make the reader understand poker at a much deeper level and give him the tools to play against tough opponents and continually improve his game. If this sounds helpful for live poker, it probably is. If it sounds like this is unnecessary for live poker, and you'd be better off memorizing some hand charts/pot odds and learning how to read tells to play against weak opponents, then this book might not be for you (at least not right now).

See above post. I don't think full ring would actually lead to any new interesting discussions, since early position ranges in full ring tend to be very tight and strong (and the more interesting situations arise when players have wider ranges).

There's no discussion of HU play, as I'm not capable of discussing it well. HU play would of course be much different from 6-max. Nearly all the concepts discussed will be relevant to HU play, but 6-max ranges are much different from heads up ranges.

OK FINE! I just pre ordered already!

ePubs and probably mobi's (Kindle) are constructed more like a web site so page formatting will not match the original book, but they are easier to resize for whatever screen they are being viewed on. Word wrapping is more free-form depending on your screen and font size.

PDF's maintain the formatting of the original, so page numbers usually do appear and are the same pages as the original hardcopy. Word wrapping will not change no matter how you zoom it.

Just checked and since I'm in Germany I had kinda the same problem as the Australian guys. Shipping is almost as much if not more as the book. And even though I thing the book itself might be worth twice or three times as much I dont pay that much money for shipping cause obviously the author doesnt get any of that.

So here are my questions to the professionalpoker guy...

1. When will there be a version that I can read on my computer/laptop or even iPad..something like a PDF. Will it also take two weeks after the end of May?
2. Is there any PDF version that is printable? I like to make notes and stuff and this is way easier with loose sheets of papers instead of just a computer version or a normal book?

As soon as the e-books are available they will be added to the store, and this may be a few days prior to the paperback completes printing.

Standard printing is disabled with our e-books.

Are you saying the 2p2 ebooks will be available before hard copy version ships out?

Maybe. Not sure yet - but if they are we will not hold back.

It is kinda important to know with the ridic 2p2 postal rates and slowish shipping times abroad. Please keep us updated as soon as you have better estimates.

FYP - & shall do.

These are the cheapest shipping options to me:
Do you know which one is faster?

USPSDOTCOM

Priority mail is faster.

Some Kindle books only list the device-specific page number, or whatever it's called ("Loc 18075 of 18153" to use an example from just before the end of A Memory of Light), while others list both that and the corresponding physical page ("Page 907 of 911 . Loc 18075 of 18153" to use the same example). Having the physical page numbers obviously makes discussion easier. They're still nice-looking whatever-Kindle's-internal-format-is books.

With regards to the ebook and drm protection, I want to download the book to my laptop and then transfer it on a memory stick to my pc at work (I like to work on my game when I get the chance at work, and play when I get home). Will I be able to do this?

Yes. The file lives in My Documents/My Digital Editions.
As stated before. Authorize Adobe Digital Editions with an Adobe ID before the initial download and use the same ID on all devices.

Is there an ebook, shipping is expensive.

Wait for amazon? Speaking of which ... I wonder when amazon will receive stock.

Hi Everyone:

The printing was completed on Monday May 6. The next step is to get the book bound which can take a number of days due to its size and availability of the binding machine. But it's certainly possible we could have books by the end of the week, and if not by the beginning of next week. This puts us at least a full week ahead of schedule.

Best wishes,
Mason

wtf sort of postage rates are these?

i just imagined the book cost 50$+ and i was very fine paying that

If only everyone in the world thought the way you did ... we'd have a lot less economic problems.

I bought it because I thought it would still be worth the price of the book+shipping.

But why was it so much?

For what it's worth, I was at the USPS yesterday to find out about shipping some books to some friends and family members, and the box that cost $5 to ship anywhere in the United States cost $20 to ship to Canada. I have no idea why there's such a huge price increase from me shipping a book to New York to just over the Canadian border, but there is.
