Barry -

Despite the majority of my play being on the Internet I enjoyed your book. I was impressed with the table giving the equity of hands with backdoor outs and redraws. I haven't seen it before and it's very important for the game runners of private games who do insurance. Many times I've seen insurance laid with nowhere near the correct equity.

Anyway I want to give some support to whatever side of you is motivated to create another book devoted to the play of hands. The section on Lessons in Play is one of the meatiest and if it was expanded into a few hundred pages would be of interest to many of us here. It may not have the reading audience that this one does but I think it would sell as well. I for one would love examples from all the games and especially hands played against loose aggressive tough opponents. I thought the most interesting part of Stewart Reuben's PLO and PLH books was the perspective of exactly that kind of player.
