I got my book on Monday, I preordered on Conjelco.

It looks great. My plan is to work one chapter a day, today is Chapter 4.

Any more reviews or comments from those who have received it? I ordered from Amazon.ca and it should be here by Dec 22 but would love to hear more thoughts on it.

I got my copy on Weds. and have been slowly working my way through it. I am happy to say that it is very well written in clean, straight-forward prose. I was more than a little relieved, because I've sat at poker tables where Bill and Jerrod were discussing math, and couldn't understand a word they were saying. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Top book. Still thinking about how to express why.
I have no idea if it will be a popular book but I feel I will be rereading it constantly for months. Some ideas for building good models for simulations, great demonstrations of the counter-intuitive nature of a lot of game decisions, and a nice framework to start thinking about poker strategies from a 'scientific' viewpoint.
I've only skimmed it tho [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Don't worry, I still think you're really smart, though.

That seems kind of confrontational; I thought his comment was pretty funny. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

What is the best way for me to get it asap in Australia??

Re: The Mathematics of Poker
 

I would guess Amazon. I received this notice this morning. I'm Happy. Interestingly enough it comes from Amazon International Sales. My arrival date is December 13 so it must be shipping tomorrow AM.
