TOC for Applications of No-Limit Hold 'em Now in stock and shipping - Page 18 - Books and Publications

Book is great!

I've climbed through the stakes from 50nl 6max to being a full time 400nl reg with some 5/10nl shots on the weekends being strictly a "feel" player while learning some of my strategy from leggo/CR/DC videos through the years.

After watching some of Sauce's videos on Leggopoker and really appreciating his theory-based approach to the game I've made a commitment to learn as much as I can about GTO poker. I'm not going to completely revolutionize my game (or maybe I will?) but it seems important for me to slowly make my way to a more math/theory based style. I know I'm leaky on all streets of poker and it's a shocker that I'm not broke from my current TAG/LAG whenever I "feel" like it, 3bet whenever I "feel" like it, 3barrel bluff whenever I "feel" like it style.

It was a huuuuge coincidence that I randomly checked his blog and saw his forward for this book. I respect his game so much I snap forked over $40 for book + 3day shipping. I've never bought a poker book w/ the intentions of improving my game - it's always been for pure entertainment (Barry G's book for example). Math is also a huge turn-off for me. Book + math = lol never. Not a single regret making this investment.

Currently using the preflop hand-chart to the nose as a foundation. I sound/feel like a fish following a hand-chart preflop but it looks really balanced and a lot more loose/LAG than I would expect from a hand-chart.

After reading into postflop/hand samples I've realized even though I've been a "feel" player, I've somewhat thought about "balancing" ranges on flop/turn/rivers but I didn't realize I was doing it. This book further pushes me to always think about balancing my range and teaches me which part of my range needs to attack/slow down.

tl;dr but I'll probably post more sloppy review the more I get into the book.

Glad you like the book so far!

I'd recommend checking out the other thread where people are reviewing and discussing it where I go into a bit more detail about the hand chart. As said in the book, I wouldn't recommend strictly following it, and there are a few changes I'd now make to it you should be aware of (basically emphasizing 3-betting high equity hands a bit more even if they're very tough to play). None of this stuff is solvable but if you're playing MSNL it's worth being aware of and discussing.

Another customer from Brazil has ordered the book and paid for the upgrade to Express + Insurance. I am waiting to hear if he receives it with the Express service. Tracking shows it cleared customs on the 21st but that was the end of tracking so far. I emailed him to find out if it was delivered.

Ok, thanks for the info..
If you hear that it got delivered successfully then let me know please, and I'll order a copy too.

Full priority with the free upgrade to Express should make it but it is not guaranteed. UPS (super expensive) will definitely make it. Postal Express Guaranteed should also make is and is handled by FedEx. Downside of this is if the address is not 100% perfect, they tend to get very confused and have poor problem solving abilities, delaying the delivery until you call them and give directions.

Finally ordered!
I´ve been on the fence about waiting for it to get to european bookstore-sites, getting an e-book or paying heavily for shipping it across the pond.
Ordered it from amazon.com. Price was good, shipping rate and time reasonable.
Can´t wait to get it!

I guess people like me that pre order on May 1 dont deserve the luxury of being upgraded.

Still waiting for a reply from professionalpoker been more than 25 hours since I send them an email.

I finally got a mail from them and they had put the wrong address on the package.
Called the post office and they told me where I could get it so I went there and could pick it up.
So I have the book now.

I got the above, not sure whether to wait or get it direct, would help if you could give an Ebook time frame?

Amazon always estimates high - based on the cheapest shipping method. Frequently the time in transit is quicker.

I would have bought the hard copy but was under the impression the ebook would be ready around the same time...I've seen lots of people ask but no answers, is there any timeline on the ebook? If it's going to be >1 week I'll probably just buy the hard copy...

I don't understand the silence either... we were led to believe the ebook might very well be available before the hard copy. The least you could do is answer the gazillion people asking for an update. I ordered a physical copy from amazon.co.uk myself, knowing it would take a while to arrive. My intent was to also buy the ebook to have early access. Had I known the ebook would be nowhere to be seen two weeks after release, I would have chosen to buy a copy directly from you and happily shelled out $40 extra for speedy delivery.
