I'm very sorry for having an opinion, I will henceforth completely agree with you because if I didn't like a book that you seem to, that clearly makes me a losing poker player.

Your opinion is null because you are basing it on the assumption that ALL POKER BOOKS HAVE TO BE ABOUT STATEGY ONLY BECAUSE "loveminus0) says so

No, I am saying that I disliked Bad Beats and Lucky Draws because it provided poor insight into the hands featured, was full of Phil Hellmuth talking about how good he was which I don't really care to read about, was poorly written, and on and on.

Killer poker, By John Vorhaus. I have no idea why I bought this trash, think I managed about 20 pages before giving up on it.

Once again your looking for insight and strategy.
This book was for entertainment.
You say it was poorly written. Can I have some examples
Do you have an editing background. Do you work for a publisher. What are your qualifications to say that the book was poorly written.

That said I think it was a Well written, Entertainment filled book with little or no strategy value.

Same argument I can't say it was Well Written because I don't have any TRUE idea of what a well written book should be like all i can base it on is that I enjoyed the book.

You did not like the book hence it's poorly written.

I don't think you can base the writing of a book based on whether you liked it or not.

We could ask someone with a masters in english ?

Exactly what I was thinking, steamboatin. This guy seems genuinely offended that I did not like the book.
