Hi Mason,

Any idea on how this book is going to be different from HPFAP?

[Cactus Jack]

There's only one area left to publish the definitive book on...SNGs. While I admit I've gotten a lot out of all the HoH books, the true work on SNGs needs to come out.

Hi BigStack650:

I haven't seen any of the written material yet, only verbal discussion. So it's probably best for me to leave this to the authors to comment on if they so choose.

Best wishes,
Mason

Mason,

Any chance that a 2+2 non hold em' book is in the future?

[tyboy74]

I am very happy to hear that 2+2 is going to be releasing 3 more books in the near future. I am really interested in reading Harrington's new book. However am I the only one who thinks that 2+2 is coming out with too many Hold'em books? Don't get me wrong, I feel that all of 2+2 books on Hold'em are excellent and probably the best poker books out in the market. With the expolosion of Hold'em on TV, 2+2 will probably make a lot of money on these new Hold'em book. However I am not sure if this would happen but I would love for 2+2 to come out with more books on other poker games such as Pot limit Omaha, Decue to Seven, Triple Draw and mix games. I know that these poker games are not as popular as hold'em but I think it will be very educational for players who want to learn more about other poker games beside hold'em.

Hi Ty:

First off, most of these books, even though they are on hold 'em, do examine different aspects of it. As for the other games, we're not against that even though their sales would be much lower, but there is no one out there that we know who is putting together a quality manuscript and who wants to give it to us.

Best wishes,
Mason

I own most of the 2+2 library, and I'd certainly pick up some titles on PLO High, and Triple Draw. I'm looking forward to all of the titles mentioned by Mason, especially the short handed book!.

If it weren't for 2+2, I probably wouldn't be playing poker. Although the style of writing is difficult at times, their mathematical approach teaches you how to think correctly about the game.

I would speculate that these games would get a bit more popular if 2+2 put out a strategy guide to some of them.

BTW: Do you have Super System 2? There are strategy guides for all of these games. Bob Ciaffone also re-issued his Omaha book, and it has added coverage of Pot Limit O/8.

Don't forget the 2+2 book on Limit Stud 8 and O/8.

Hi Mason,

What about Greg Raymer's book? Is that still in the works or is shelved for now?
