thats just it. The vast majority of 2/5 players in the room will be playing 2/5 still 3 years from now. Because the ones who are winners feel that they play well, dont realize how little they actually know about the game, and get comfortable in the fact that they are winners and just go on for years in this state of mind.
Now if an $1850 book (which is 800 i think now), would allow the player to expand his mind/game and rise to 5/10 and be consistent winner there, then the book pays for itself easily within a month, and hero goes on to win huge amounts of cash rather than miring up at 2/5 level for years.
Pretty much you get what you pay for. When you pay 29.95 for one of the usual poker books, thats about what you get IMO. Books unfortunately DO NOT teach a person to think independently well enough. That is why everyone has read some of these poker books several times, yet really dont play very well at the tables. There is a gap there somewhere, (lost in translation) otherwise the games would be MUCH tougher everywhere.
