Status Ray Zee\'s Limit Hold\'em Book?
 

Sorry if I missed this as I have been gone for a while. Last I heard Ray Zee was writing a limit hold'em book, Winning High Stakes and Short Handed Hold ’em; Expert Limit Hold ’em for Serious Cash Game & Internet Players . Is this still in the works?

Also, in searching back I did not find a recent "2+2 publication schedule" type thread. Am I missing it? If not a new one would be greatly appreciated.

It's due in september i think.

there was a thread, but i cant remember the title.

there was something mentioned in the june or july 2+2 magazine with the publication dates for several of the 2+2 books including the PNL, SNG and Harrington books.

It's not even out yet. How could anyone compare it to anything?

how did we get from " In addition, we now have the manuscript for our long awaited next book, World-Class High-Stakes and Shorthanded Limit Hold 'em by Ray Zee and David Fromm. We expect to be releasing it in either late September or early october"

to

"but this book is now indefinitely delayed."

the inquiring minds want to know , why , how come, and what does this mean for two plus two aka can you can release an differnt book, is there an opening.
that statement about it being delayed means to me that it will not be coming out at all in publisher talk right?
I can only imagine that the book was delayed for the manuscript didnt work out, and enough time and energy was spennt on it so it would be too exhausting to further do so..

Hi MASTERHOLMES:

Your quote is a pretty good summary of what has happened, and everyone involved is very disappointed. That's all I have to say at this time.

Best wishes,

Wow, awful news. I was really, really looking forward to this one more than any other 2+2 title ever. I guess now we just have to hope that D&B actually manage to release their shorthanded book. Whether or not that will ever happen is anyones guess.

Re: Status Ray Zee\'s Limit Hold\'em Book?
 

Do we need more limit books? I don't see it. HU you're meant to work out for yourself.

For some reason I was afraid of this which is why I posted this. I guess all projects can't be a success. Thanks for all your good work Mason... and back to reading Stox I go ...

Yeah, arg. First krishan's book falls through and now this. Stox's Tough Hold 'em Games surveys a wide array of solid winning concepts, but I certainly hope it's not the last word on shorthanded limit.

Mason's comments hint that this manuscript would need major reconstruction to be publishable. Based on Fromm's DVD lessons alone, I can't fathom that the hours he put into World Class bore no fruit. He should take the best 100-150pp. of the manuscript and bounce it off StellarWind, Entity, milesdyson, and other 6-max gurus. Even if the end result read like a Pynchon novel with the pages out of order, I'd shell out cash for it.

I don't know if this is at all likely, but if 2+2 passes, maybe another publisher would be willing to give it a shot.

Re: Status Ray Zee\'s Limit Hold\'em Book?
 

looks like this book will not be done, very unfortunate.

Re: Status Ray Zee\'s Limit Hold\'em Book?
 

So the manuscript wasn't good enough?

I find this very surprising and disapointing.

Re: Status Ray Zee\'s Limit Hold\'em Book?
 

. . . pretty please?
