Agree. Honestly, I don't think many people even know who Eli is. Not talking about the scandals and whatnot. In general, how many people actually know or actually think Eli is a good enough poker player that they would want to actually read a book about him or his stories.
In an average poker room, I'd say about 5-10% people even heard of Eli. Let's just say he is not DNegs, Hellmuth, Ivey, Doyle, Johnny Chan...you get the idea.
So it is not a surprise that the book is going to flop. Even before the scandals came out.
imho
