Well as luck has it i have read a loooot of poker bokes.
Super system oc,Negreanu, Helmuth, Annie Duke, Phil Gordon, How to crush microstakes, mid player poker books....a lot.
Rating it is a little harder. I have found a lot of nice successful tips in almost every book. Yours stands out in the EV section and in the defending blinds and mental game aswell. It is like dining in a restaurant vs a home cooked meal. It has a more nice warm approach.
I am not versed in the EV region to be honest, because until know i haven't played much cash games. Your book has helped me a lot understanding EV better and the fact that there are those tables with EV on dry board and all those options that is actually really helpful.
I also liked the parts on the mental games and it was a real good read with defending blinds and the options you have which i haven't seen in ANY poker book, not as detailed anyway.
I really look forward for the hand history book and honestly i could be hundreds of pages and i would love to read it. There are people who buy hand histories,but i haven't had much luck in finding info on that.
I work in advertising as a art director so if you need some front page work done on your cover at least i would happily help you 🙂
P.S.: I hope i got my point across. Sorry, i wrote this in the break of a tournament.

Minor math gripe:
There's 12 combos of a given offsuited hand, not 16. There's 16 combos total (s and o) of a given unpaired hand.
Other than that and a couple of spelling errors the book is excellent so far. I love the tension count bit particularly.

Great, thanks for the feedback. It's appreciated. It will be interesting to see what people like the most. I'm sure there are certain chapters that will stand out more than others. When I write, it's hard to get a sense of that. I want to cover so much, but also can't over saturate the reader.
I'm heavily debating about doing the standard route of having a second volume with more of the topics I wanted to cover, but didn't put in the first one, or doing a workbook next, and then a 3rd volume with more theory topics. I'll sort it out when I get back and sit down to write. Both sound appealing.
Any ways, checking out what people say in here, and I'm glad everyone likes it so far. If there's something you don't like though either, don't be shy.
Alright, back to the beach... just amazing out here.
Thank you!
Back now... back to reality! Hope everyone is enjoying the book. I'm going to make a couple of minor fixes, put a new version up and then open this up to any questions, etc... I'll try and lead a formal discussion of the book here soon. Want to give people some more time to read through it, try some of the ideas, etc..

You're welcome. Is there any special software to convert to Kindle? I haven't looked into it, but I'm interested in checking it out. When did you download it, because I re-formatted it after initial release. I guess the very last editor changes messed up a lot of formatting that I didn't notice. It's all been fixed now.
You can actually just email the pdf format to your kindle address - and it will download to your kindle. You can find your kindle address in your amazon account details. Format was fine on my kindle when I did it that way - but I have one of the old ones, not the fire or anything like that. Will be reading your book tonight while at work - thanks for the download.

Ok, thanks. I'm going to make some printable formats.
It's funny, on 2+2 someone made a post about the ebook in their publication forum a couple of weeks ago. I have no idea who made it, but they asked some pretty simple and honest questions about it. The other day I responded and put some info about the book. No links to anything, and nothing out of the ordinary.. and they deleted the thread. They seem to be hyper afraid of any competition at all. Wonder why... 🙂
