You should have talked first to me. I would have told you the opposite. To see that this is true, just look at the sales ranks of the Harrington books.

Defiently. Let's be honest. Phill Hellmuth is a terrible poker author. But if he writes another book tomorrow, he will sell enough to be profitable for him (considering time and ideas he invested in the book [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] ). Now Barry wrote a (my opinion) high quality book about poker which is a very interesting read. I have no doubt, that Barry could make a bestseller to attract even those who were a little bit disappointed with the AOTR book. As Barry said - with a more "poker intensive" book.
Barry, you are asking about who would buy a PL Omaha book? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] If you haven't noticed, everyone is asking for a good PL Omaha or PLE Omaha book. Harrington's Vol II book was a bestseller with no real advertisement action at the beginning. I have no doubt that your book would be considered as a must-have for a huge mass of players. Just say you are going to write it and I'll preorder it right now. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Because I still don't know what's Omaha about - nuts always wins and someone has it every time. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] The reason I still play it sometimes at lower limits is, because players there seem not to have a slightest clue about it and pay lots of money with a hand that doesn't have any chance to win.
