Book is divided into Early Tournament Play, Mid-Tournament Play, Near the Bubble, Final-Table Play and Heads Up Play.

Under each section, there are various lessons. Each lesson is demonstrated with hand examples.

Sorry, don't have time to type out each lesson as there are many.

Anyone reading this yet?

I have a question regarding Problem 11

Blinds 75/150
We have 8d 7d on the button and we call an early raiser for $375
Effective stack size $6,825

Flop: Qh 6h 5d
We have open straight draw and backdoor flush.
EP bets out $800 and we call

Turn: 2s
EP thinks and checks

Our play? Author suggest to check behind to take a free card

I was wondering if a bet here would be best to represent the Q. Villain's range likely include many hands that miss: AK, AJ - AT, pocket pairs JJ - 99

Thoughts.

Just realised it's available. Nice.
Be interested to hear thoughts and will hopefully contribute as I read through it.

Half way through and I must say I'm a bit dissappointed.

The hardcopy book is listed at 256 pages and the Kindle version is 198. My Nook version has 102. Seems a bit odd but whatever.

Most of the pages use jumbo text and have either pictures or diagrams taking up half the page. All the text in the book could probably condensed into 25 pages. If you like picture books this may be for you though!!!

Like I said I'm only half way through but IMO the content is nothing great. Maybe it picks up in the 2nd half of the book but so far it's pretty mediocre. The best thing I've seen so far is the rule of 5 and 10.

I've read all the other books in the series and they were much more in detail and had advanced strategies. I was hoping this book was going to be an extension of the previous books but so far, IMO, the book is nothing but an attempt to make money piggybacking on the success of the other books.

Should have known when they were using Hachem's hands but decided to give it a shot. Only paid $10 so it's not the end of the world. Just was hoping for a better book.

Totally agree

After completing the book I believe that this was just an attempt to make money off of the success of the other books. There was absolutely nothing in there that made me think "wow I'm glad I got this book". If you are even somewhat competent then you probably know most of the stuff in the book.

They only glance over topics and while I understand this is a "workbook" I felt there was a lot that was left out that should have been included. Perhaps this is a tactic that they use hoping people will buy their other books to learn about what they left out of this book.

There were also numerous typos and a mistake on one of the pictures. Yes I know I'm nit picking but when you only have 100 pages to proof read and get right I expect you to get it right. At least make sure all the pictures and diagrams match up.

Maybe I was just expecting a lot more or something else but I'm extremely disappointed in this book and don't recommend it to anyone.

If anyone has the hard copy or Kindle version I'd be interested to know why they are more pages than the Nook copy I have. The hard copy has more than double the pages of the Nook and I can't figure out why. No way formatting is 150 page difference.

I have hard copy and it does have 256 pages. When I look at Nook online, it states the same number of pages. How many pages does your Nook version have?

ok - not sure if your nook has super small fonts but the hard copy is 256 pages so not sure if you have the full book.

As for Kindle, I really don't understand how the page numbering works as they have a different page counting system.

I have the full copy as I checked the TOC in both versions and my book lists the same info and has all pages. Funny the font is actually really big and this 102 page book could be condensed into 50 pages or less.

Are there lots of big pictures/diagrams in the hard copy? Picture on one page, text on the other? I'm just really confused on how you can cut out 150 pages of a book by different formatting.

My favorite part of problem 11 is that it begins like this:
"Third level of a major online tournament..." And concludes with this line:
"You double his bet and he screws up his face in a frown. After a while, he throws his hand away in disgust, muttering something like, 'Goddam flushes always coming in."

Yes I noticed that too and makes me wonder how many of these hands are made up.

Now that it is out, I wonder what people on here think of it.

I don't have it, but since I have KP, KE, and RE, I am getting it.

It's terrible and a waste of money. Seriously. They are just trying to piggyback off the success of the other books. I think I already posted about it somewhere giving a review so I'll try to find that.

I'm sorry you feel that way, it wasn't our intention.
