The first 50% is understanding basic concepts. The next 40% is understanding common actions and learning to read players. The last 10% is emotional control and bankroll management. Sorry for the hijack though. [/ QUOTE ] The 50% and 40% is basic stuff and I lump it together. The other 10% is where you make your money as a grinder (above SSNL). For the 10% I also meant mental focus. Do you realize how much tilting off a stack actually effects your winrate? |

The actual concepts are not difficult for someone who puts in the effort and has a few brain cells. |

Re: Update on SSNL

I'm confused - do you mean it's not intended for specific stakes, like not just $1/$2 or $0.25/$0.50, or do you mean it's not even intended specifically for SSNL and UNL games? If so, why the shift from the original goal of writing an SSNL-oriented book? [/ QUOTE ] Correct, it is not specifically for any stakes. How do you explain playing small stakes without teaching people to play no-limit? There is no magic difference between the stakes. It's just different opponents. What we're trying to do is give you a big leg up. |

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Will both books be available at the same time or one at a time? [/ QUOTE ] roflmao. that would be one at a time. [/ QUOTE ] When is the expected release date? Ballpark? [/ QUOTE ] I don't know, but we're closing on submission, and Ed says Mason is fast. |

Re: Update on SSNL

Book should be solid. It won't change the games much though. 90% of poker is bankroll management and emotional control. [/ QUOTE ] There's a lot of truth in what you say. I made some comments on bankroll in two recent HSNL threads I started. There is no way those numbers are conservative enough for an average online multitabler. |

Matt, Based on the negative feedback in this thread I guess you will probably have to 86 the NL book, hopefully this will allow your book of Challenger jokes to now move to the front burner [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] The first book I wrote was a book of Yo Mama jokes. Some prick beat me to it. That was twenty years ago. Here's an original: Yo mama's so nasty she cut a fart one time and her cat went bald. I kept the day job and stuck to writing how-to books. |
