Rold Slotboom PLO due out 8/15

Hi 1p0kerboy,

A direct answer that I received from the publisher today:

[ QUOTE ]
The book will be released in August, at the end of the month, in the US. Stock will then be shipped to Europe where it will arrive towards the end of September. It will be released before the end of September in Europe, as scheduled

[/ QUOTE ]

All in all, my August 15 suggestion may have been slightly optimistic. Having said that, it seems that both in the US and in Europe the book will be out clearly before the official October 1 release date.

Anyway, hope this information is of use.

Are you planning to do a DVD set with this any time in the future?

Can hardly wait for the book.

Thanks Rolf. I'm looking forward to this book.

Hi Sp1ke,

First let's see how many copies of my no-limit / limit hold'em DVD's will be sold eventually, and of course if the "Secrets of Professional Pot-Limit Omaha" sales will be in line with the sales of the "Hold'em On The Come" book. Keep in mind that the PLO market is *very* small compared to the hold'em market, meaning that PLO books & DVD's are usually not the best products to put on the market - from a moneymaking point of view, that is. For instance, I am certain that D&B and I have put a lot more time & effort into the PLO book than we may ever get back in revenue. So, it is probably more than anything the honor of trying to come up with some kind of 'definitive' work, and maybe help give this game that we all love another boost - a boost that it could very well use. All in all, if I am offered the opportunity to follow up this book with a new series of PLO DVD's, then I would almost certainly be willing to take this on. However, let's first see how things develop with the upcoming book, both with regards to the sales and the reception by our target audience - the (potential) PLO players.

Thanks for your kind words though - I really appreciate it.

I noticed the preorder price moved up a dollar on amazon. I was checking the date because i had already preordered and needed to know if it was time to put my lawn chair out by the mailbox.

Amazon keeps changing the projected ship date. Now they are telling me October is the ship date. No update on Rolf's web site.
