WHAT POKER TEACHES US

I am skeptical that this will be interesting. We already have Greenstein's book. If it is a vehicle for old Vegas stories, and original takes on many topics, it might be more interesting but if you explain how to get the young girls etc you probably won't be able to legalize poker with it.

ALGEBRA FOR TEN YEAR OLDS (And those who think like them)

Elementary school math doesn't depend much on the text book, it would have to be a radical movement to change the way teachers teach the subject. If the book is just for older math challenged folks, I can't imagine a big market. There might be something here but I'd get an advance from a textbook company first ( you don't even have to share with Mason ).


50 POKER HANDS THAT REALLY TEACH YOU SOMETHING

Sounds good, should sell as well as any of the other 2+2 strategy books.

A SIMPLE GUIDE TO "THE THEORY OF POKER"
It already is pretty simple and well written.

David,

The world could use a great algebra book, more than any book on poker. Whether it would make a lot of money, I can't say.

Yeah I agree completely. Not that you even care about your critics opinions on you but this would seriously prove to them that you truly are brilliant in other fields.

Aren't you tired of writing about poker anyways?

Algebra, I'd buy it.

I stopped paying attention in school when my dad died, and Algebra was one of the things I missed.
Even though I have tried several times, the beyond the basics stuff just does not stick easily in my head.

In this order:

1. A SIMPLE GUIDE TO "THE THEORY OF POKER" (unselfish answer)

2. ALGEBRA FOR TEN YEAR OLDS (And those who think like them). - the poker version.
(very selfish answer)

3. 50 POKER HANDS THAT REALLY TEACH YOU SOMETHING (will most probably make the most money - may I have 1% royalities for this advice; especially if you write it first.) [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Most poker players I've met don't read books. In fact they continue to tell me that reading poker books will rot my brain and game. I don't believe them...thank goodness. The non-readers most probably would buy this one...they love to compare.

4. WHAT POKER TEACHES US (show me a poker player that is teachable and you'll find a good player.) My experience at the Southern California casinos/card rooms is most of the players that talk to me think they know everything - or at least talk like they know everything about poker and no one else does.

Thank you for reading this - hope I have contributed something - and okay - I know I won't get a percentage. Maybe soon I'll be good enough to play you. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
