In other words you held back. other people are now taking those concepts and investigating, but more importantly sharing. Something that you and mason were not willing to do. Excuse me for being on the attack but also your books were very poorly written. It doesnt matter how smart you are if you cant communicate it clearly it doesnt mean as much. Yes , you will always be remembered for theory of Poker, but things are now miles away from the last limit book(for example) you wrote .And really never a need to hold back because only a few can actually execute a fully robust poker strategy .
You're certainly entitle to your opinion, but I've spent the last 25 years writing and publishing in this field, and our goal was to always out out top notch stuff. Good books aren't done quickly, just like this website wasn't built overnight.
Also, it's really only the last few years where the interest in the stuff that David talks about in his article is large enough for us to want to give it serious attention, but this doesn't mean we haven't been busy and working hard. Furthermore, what you may not understand is that both David and I each put in a lot of time and effort on every book that Two Plus Two produces, and this is done whether we are part of the author team or not, plus we are involved in a bunch of other stuff. So even if something, from your perspective, was held back, something else was produced.
