Re: Comment on Greenstein Rating
"Sigh"
What I'm saying is - the author, the title of the book and some of Doyle's comments led us to believe you wanted to write a book unlike any other, telling us from a perspective few poker players or writers could. And you did it in some ways, just not the ways I expected.

We don't play much hold'em in the big game, so I ended up using tournament examples, mainly against relatively weak opponents.

Except, there are already of ton of books that talk about that.

I thought of discussing how we play Omaha eight-or-better or how we play pot limit Omaha and how you cope with someone who plays almost every hand, but even the mention of these games is over most readers head.

But the book is labeled "Advanced", won't people expect it too be hard to understand?

There is no question that one of the drawbacks for two plus two'ers is that I wanted to make the book readable by a mainstream audience

Fair enough. But I still contend intentionally or uninitenially a lot of your comments, and comments of others, pre-publication, mislead 2+2'ers about the type of book you would be writing.
The book is a good book, but the poker instruction parts aren't something that hasn't been written before or that can't be found in other poker books.
PS- if there is an 2nd printing can you add captions to more of your photos?
