It will be out mid to late August. Trust me - it's a very good book indeed.

Rolf's web site said due out 8/15. Amazon is usually slow on changing due dates.

Yes, August 15 is indeed the goal. It may be a bit later that that, but I hope not - I would like the book to be released ASAP. Descriptions of the book, quotes by other players and all are available on the site of the publisher.

Best regards,
Rolf.

Rolf, I just saw the table of content. I was wondering, how strong is the theoretical basis in this book, the chapter-titles look more like a biography / articles-style:

* Foreword;
* About the book;
* Chapter 1... My Years In Vienna: On my way to a renewing and groundbreaking strategy;
* Chapter 2... Back In Amsterdam: Facing some of the best PLO players on a daily basis - and beating them.
* Chapter 3... Moving up to the biggest online games;
* Chapter 4... Playing online: Adjustments for shorthanded play;
* Chapter 5... Practice Hands;
* Chapter 6... Hand Match-ups & Analysis;
* Chapter 7... Classic Articles;
* Glossary.

Could you tell us a bit more about the topic you will discuss?

Okay, I preordered.

Since they play a mixed PLO/PLHE-game at my local casino I had no choice but ordering it [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Personally I was not that amazed with the Ciaffone books, so I hope this one will provide the nuts and bolts to get a firm grip on PLO. On the upside, it only has to be half as good as "HE on the come" and I will be more than satisfied.

That is suffcient recomendation for me. Do you have info on his DVD's?

I've got the DVDs. They're good.

A friend of mine has been editing the Omaha book. He is a strong poker player but with almost no Omaha experience. Having gone through the book he decided to play some PLO - putting Rolf's strategies into practice - in games around the $2-$4 level. He picked up $6,000 in two weeks.....
