Official October Thread: General Discussion

[d2themfi]

I gotta say I have only made it through chapter 1 of the basic section and the stuff in there is stuff I struggled with in my stats class last spring, but then again I never went to class and smoke a lot of pot, so who knows, maybe it'll sink in better this time.

The stuff he talks about in the intro seem really interesting tho

Felt like a major dork for even carrying it through a hotel lobby. My economics textbook is a way easier read and that's saying something.

Mine's just called Economics, written by two british dudes. I guess it's actually pretty good apart from being in english.

I've read some sections like 10+ times. Other sections I skimmed once. If you know which parts are relevant it is awesome, otherwise it will melt your brain.

I got up to chapter 13 in a few weeks. But it takes pretty long and I am lazy. Its good to think about some new things, but reads more like a math textbook than poker book.
