Thank you. I am sorry you are not doing book reviews right now, as I asked you after your post I would have liked you to review mine.

I’m essentially retired. However, I don’t know enough about this game to write an accurate review.

Seems kind of weird there are a lot of positive reviews from posters with only a handful of posts on 2+2. Almost as if they signed up just to review the book. Not very convincing. Also, some of them claim to have a relationship with him as student/coach. Not that proves the Guidebook isn't good. But it's suspicious.

I ask many people who have purchased the guide to write a review if they want. They don’t all have two plus two accounts, so yes in many cases they are creating an account just to write the review. More seasoned posters have also written positive reviews as well, like Bobby Peru.

Did the people who wrote positive reviews purchase a book or did some of them receive a free book in exchange for a review? I noticed you tried to send Mason Malmuth a free book to solicit a review. If any of the reviews are incentivized, it should be disclosed since you keep citing the positive reviews as a selling point. As a guideline, the FTC requires some sites to disclose when a review is incentivized.

No one who posted a review got a “free” copy of the book, they all paid for it in some form whether via coaching or just buying a standalone book. A couple got a modest discount ($5 off the book for instance). Most did not receive an “incentive,” however. Hope that helps.

Mason would have gotten a free copy because of his status in the poker world; his review would have carried much more weight.

Thanks for clarifying. I’m still genuinely curious how so many people who don’t have 2p2 accounts found your book, bought it, and decided to create an account afterwards for the sole purpose of writing a review when they never bothered to create an account before.

Are the reviewers friends and acquaintances from your local card room who heard about your book? None of them got a free book? I would’ve hooked a brother up.

Google searches lists my book near the top when you search for plo5 books which I assume is how lots of people without 2p2 accounts find the book.

Also Ilikeurstyle is in fact my poker friend from my card room (and yes, he got a free copy). I forgot about that one review. Oops!

That’s amazing they all found your book on Google and decided to create new accounts just to post positive reviews instead of being lazy or keeping it to themselves. I’d always thought poker players were a lazy selfish bunch. You’re doing good here creating community and bringing out the best in poker players. Carry on!
