The fish MAY buy the book. Not very likely they read it. Zero chance they study it.

I don't know if you've read the book...I assume that you have...then I'd be interested to know what weaknesses or problems you find in the theory and practice there.

I would offer the opinion that it's a very fine piece of instruction at a very, very fair price...and I've read it!

Hi Split:

I've read most of your book and while it's definitely pretty good, there seems to be no discussion of what hands you call raises with out of the blinds and no discussion as to what hands you call three bets with after you have raised. So did I miss something?

Best wishes,
Mason

I didn't want to give an exact range to call a raise, nor call a 3bet, with in order to keep the book more timeless. I did my best to cover what goes into those decisions (how wide is the O-Range, what does a C-Range look like if you 3bet/4bet, edges, etc.)...

Would you have preferred my exact ranges?

I dont understand what I am seeing on ptr for this guys screennames

http://www.pokertableratings.com/sta...-search/7curse
http://www.pokertableratings.com/ful...Its+RIGGIGGITY

I thought this coach won 100K at the microstakes -
http://www.dailyvariance.com/poker-v...kes-nl-system/

The price ($297) of that 100K microstakes system is more actually more money than Split is up on ptr.

So how is Split able to get away with selling books for $100 and videos for $300 when he is not up even 3 100NL buyins on ptr?

I've posted my DB screenshots many times. (check my coaching thread or the thread in NVG) Why PTR has missed so many of my hands is beyond me...

So ptr has missed almost $100K worth of hands?

You didn't address it at all, yet in other places you do give exact ranges. In my opinion, the best approach would have been to give a default range and then discussion as to how to adjust it depending on the game, opponent(s), etc. This seems like a significant omission.

Also in my reading I found a number of errors in the book. Most small, but some more significant. One example of a more significant error is under "The AK 3-Bet Pot" where you recommend to check your hand on the flop after three-betting with ace-king and then flopped top pair on an AT7 flop. But in your analysis the fact that ace-queen is included in your opponent's range, which is 99+/AQ+, seems to be forgotten. So while I agree with your analysis if your opponent does not play ace-queen or perhaps only plays ace-queen suited, once you account for all ace-queens being possible in your opponent's hand, it's my opinion that the analysis for how to play this hand should be different.

Specifically, you state:

Quote:
He probably folds most of the range that we crush (the 99/QQ) part of the range. He never folds the part of the range that crushes us (TT/AA). So a bet only gets action from better hands, hardly ever gets action from worse, and allows our opponent to play pretty close to perfect.
Now it may be best strategy to still check your ace-king on the flop even knowing that ace-queen can be in your opponent's hand. But that should be a somewhat different argument from the one you give. Of course, if you didn't include ace-queen in your opponent's hand, then I would have no issue.

Now for all the others following this thread, I do recommend this book (and there aren't that many on my recommendation list). But it certainly could use some cleaning up

sounds like i messed up range assignment or wasn't as detailed in the explanation as need be...my bad.

and noted on the callvsteal & callv3bet stuff. glad to hear that even despite certain things you recommend it though =)

If a publisher said they were going to call it the "System that will cost you 100K at the microstakes in 2012" would you agree that? Of course you wouldn't cos nobody would buy it.

You are also selling that system on your own website with the name "The 100K Micro-Stakes System: Crushing 50NL In 2012". Its your product, the buck stops with you.

Somebody releases a video series called the 100K system for crushing microstakes everybody will assume they actually have crushed the micros for 100K in a given year. Its a complete scam. You are up, what, $278 in a couple of years worth of stats on ptr. And you are selling books for $100 and videos for $300....I suppose the joke is on whoever is dumb enough to buy them.

Do you think this system will lead to anybody making 100K at the micros in a year? Straight answer please.

The product sold on my site is the same product as that on DV...which again, was named by them. If you have issues with the name, go talk to Tri.

If you want to believe PTR is the end-all/be-all to results, that's fine. I've posted my real results and people are free to think what they wish.

To answer your last question, yes, with volume, winrate, RB+bonus.

(this will be my last response to you in this thread...especially since this thread is about Dynamic Full Ring Poker...)

My last post too then. But I will end by saying you must take me for a fool if you expect me to believe you had no control over the title - like I said, if DV had proposed a title like 'Lose 100K in the micros in 2012' you would not have agreed to it.

And finally, ptr says no-one, out of thousands/hundreds of thousands of players has ever made 100K in a year at the micros, not even close. And i imagine you know that well. So its up to the users if they want to buy your material or not, I have said my piece, adios.

Got the book this past weekend. Just reading the part about pre-flop hand selection and how there can be no perfect static hand range to play because poker is a dynamic game and that will always be changing. I appreciate the books that teach us to think and to adjust.

Who needs to read "preflop the fourth bet ALWAYS means aces"

You need to qualify this on your site by saying that the 100k figure is utterly unattainable. No-one has EVER EVER made 100k at the micros in a year, and there are plenty of people trying really hard. You knowingly misrepresent a product you are selling and clearly endorsing. A purchaser could sue you under UK or US law (if they could be bothered). It does not matter that you were not 100% responsible for the title of the book (and it would not matter if you were not responsible at all).

The below is an abject lie and you know it:

Say 1.2M hands a year
5bb/100h winrate
4bb/100h rakeback
50NL

Which are all already extremly optimistic numbers imo.

1,200,000h/year * 9bb/100h * 0.50$/bb = $54,000

Imo 100k isnt possible ainec

If there is a price to buy a book on kindle, would it be the same price to buy it for the ibookstore on the iphone? How does that work?

Would you be willing to escrow a bet as to whether or not someone will have read your book and make $100k? I think the odds of this are incredibly low and am wondering if you're actually willing to try to back up your claims with some money.
Dynamic Full Ring Poker- by James Sweeney Quote

^^ I think split has realised that his claim was absurd (both in his post, and the implicit claim of his book title) and is now going to keep his mouth shut about it.
