Dan plays 6-max online quite regularly, this was verified on a recent interview with Bill Robertie on the Two Plus Two Pokercast presented by PokerStars VIP Club. HOC teaches to the lowest common denominator, the full ring player. Full ring play should be mastered before 6-max IMHO.

Collin Moshman's HUNL book is expected to be published this year. Knowing Collin's ability to communicate complex concepts easilly I would assume that Mr. Ferguson would approve of Collin's work.

I think we're gonna need a bigger boat, er, plate.

i know bob is very busy and can appreciate his many dealings with politics.chess etc. That being the case, don't tell people you have a book coming out for the last 3 years and keep moving the date some 6-8 times already. He has written some good stuff and id like to see a book. I think 2 things are effecting this book, number one, he is an old timeer who is set in his ways and wants to write the book and go at a snail pace. He should hire help to get it done. Second, he suffers from procrastination

yes i have been a poster on 2+2 for over 4 years now. no i didn´t beome a regular poster and accrue 6,000 posts asking mason to publish my book. --It seemed for a while that he was in every thread here in the book forum, saying how "revolutionary" his book was gonna be-- are you referring to the 2 day period where i posted like 3 times in that one thread with mason?

and yes, i will continue to post and say how good my book is becuase it is that good (which isn´t so much a testament to the quality of my book, but more a comment on the authors and books already out on NLHE). --we would see for ourselves if Mason would only publish it.-- and people WILL see for themselves when it IS published by DandBPublishing, and no i never begged 2+2 to publish it.

also a quick note, its not 6 handed NLHE. the main idea of the book is psychology, understanding how top players think in poker and how to know what hand the opponent has by seeing how he is thinking. this is illustrated in hands which mainly come from high stakes HU and shorthanded NLHE. i recomend the book however to everyone from PLO players to full ring game $50 buy in players because the same ideas and thinking is applicable everywhere.

Bruise,

Yes, I do suck. No arguement there, from me or from anyone who knows me well. I also have a small penis.

And I obviously don't read the strategy forums you regularly post in. But, based on the few posts of your that I read in Books & Pubs, yes I did think it quite possible that your racked up six thousand posts in just a few days talking about the poker book you wrote but Mason wouldn't publish.

Also, I've said many times to guys like Sam and others that this forum is not kind to poker authors. Well, Dan (I think your real name is Dan), now you are a poker author. If history is any guide, then I'd recommend that you use some of your royalties to buy yourself some Nomex underware.

I'll also say this: You've got at least one guaranteed sale from me. And if I learn even one thing from reading your book, I'll post here, say what it was and thank you for it.

But none of that means that you don't come across like a 50 PSI barbed wire douche nozzel in some of your posts.

Now, frankly one of the things I like about internet poker is the ability to make some real money and the only dealings I'll have to have with stupid people is when I rake their chips. I think that's something you and I have in common maybe. And sometimes I have to remind myself to take my snarkyness down by 1000 when I'm posting here.

Well, remember what I said about this forum not being kind to poker authors. There was another recent NL hold'em cash game book by a famous poker author, and it had trouble living up to its hype. Keep touting your book, and you might find that Nomex underware isn't enough.

bruiser is one heck of a player and i know someone who read parts of his book, its good. He is a realtime success story on online poker. I didnt say he was a millionare etc but he knows how to win.

Like I said, I don't know TheBruiser outside of a few threads here on Books & Pubs, but several forum regulars whose opinion I respect say his strategy posts are all high quality. Based on that alone I have no reservations about buying his book. And if, as is likely, I learn even one new thing from reading his book, I'll post on here what it was.

And if, in his personal life, TheBruiser is a stone cold jerk, well, to be honest so am I.

¨Now, frankly one of the things I like about internet poker is the ability to make some real money and the only dealings I'll have to have with stupid people is when I rake their chips. I think that's something you and I have in common maybe.¨

maybe, but probably not.

no i´m not a jerk

What flaws do you see in existing books that your book doesn't contain? Also, can you share any details of the book such as the outline, TOC, or what concepts it will be covering?

Good luck with your book Mr Ashman.

the flaw i see in other books is that they suck. its because of the authors, they simply are not the people that play high stakes no limit holdem with a lot of success. an exception is supersystem, which ive always believed is highly underrated book (ive literally read the NL section about 8 times always learning more). i know ive been ecclipsed by asignificant number of players, but i am still very good at nlhe and worlds above the other authors of NLHE books.

or for example the Magician wrote a book about NLHE, ive played with him, hes good live but his book was a joke he didnt put work into it. im a good player who put a lot of work into the book. as far as the outline id like to post a table of contents which i think is compelling, i am a bit afraid manson will ban me for something like that though. also lazy. also frustrated with the whoel thing becuase my editter keeps delaying the book publicationd ate, wont respond to me and wont explain what is gonig on.

also vilemerchant, send me an email clambunnyATgmail.com so we can talk, its been a long time!!!

Lol. I love when people write things they know nothing about.

Online Harrington plays almost exclusively 6 max.

It will be a part of their next book.

wasnt there a thread on this forum where mason said he had told the authors of PNL that they could take vol. 2 somewhere else to be published?

Mason,

Please confirm that Dan Harrington is working on a 6 max NLH book? Thanks

It's good to know that our books suck and that our no-limit books are written by people who have no success in high limit games. Since our two main authors for no-limit books are David Sklansky and Dan Harrington, I'm sure that everyone here will now read your book before they read anything by either of these two guys.

As for your editter, my suspicion is that he feels the same way, and that just might be why he's unavailable. As you may or may not know, being an editter can be tough work. And to be specific, here's the third paragraph out of the manuscript you sent me. I wonder how your editter will handle it:

MM

That is correct.

best wishes,
Mason

Harrington on Cash: Volume III is not yet a done deal. I assume it will be written, but that is more up to the authors than it is to me. Dan and Bill have written five lengthy, detailed books in a fairly short period of time, and they may want to take a break. So nothing at this point in time is certain.

As for what Volume III will contain, assuming it is written, again is not yet decided. However, in our discussions, the authors are aware that there is much interest in this area.

If you happen to be at the WSOP, both Dan and Bill plan to spend a fair amount of time in our booth at the WSOP Expo from July 3 through July 6. So if you (or anyone) pay us a vist, feel free to ask them straight out what their plans are.

Best wishes,
Mason

Agree - Antonio's book was one of the most disappointing NLHE books for me. A guy of his playing caliber pretty well hodge podged a book to make a quick buck. I was a bit disappointed in the Magician for that.

That's a shame. PNL1 is the best book on NLHE I have read.

Hi Mason.

In addition to a potential 6 max book, I think a workbook to complete the cash series would be good. Unfortunately, I won't be in Vegas to ask though. Would be good if soeone could find out.

They are friends. They are going to talk some time off. Then they are planning to write volume 3.

Bruiser,

Bite the bullet and find someone to co-author

mason i just think it's hilarious that you point out Danny's mispelling three times, in italics, when you are notorious for spelling errors in your own posts.

Oh and if Danny, Action Dan, and Sklansky played 3-handed NL cash with 200BBs+ at 25/50, I guarantee the latter two would come out looking BRUISED.

I can also guarantee that Ashman is becoming a major embarrassment to his publisher which just might have something to do with his problems concerning his edditter.

MM
