If you or anybody else thinks this book can give a beginner an "almost even" chance against solid players I have some property for sale in Florida that you might be interested in.

Actually for online tournaments it probably will. You're pretty much permanently in the orange zone even as chip leader after the first few levels.

Ok, so that property I was talking about is water front, really really nice view.... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

You make a good point, particularly regarding STTs and the turbo structured MTTs. However, I will be a nit here and say that it's my belief that the solid player still has a better than "almost even" chance against a beginner employing Kill Phil.

Well, I've played almost exclusively limit HE in my 5 years playing the game, a couple of freerolls and a couple of cheap SNG's for kicks, but the hype for this one got me and I just ordered a copy from Conjelco.

Maybe it will be fun to jump into some tournaments and at least feel like I have some sort of game-plan.

If you just want to try it out, I have found this strategy killer for the Party 11's and 22's. I know this book wasn't designed for these bad player filled SNGs, but for whatever reason, they seem to work great.

You're being worse than a nit. You're being anal about wording that isn't even inaccurate. "Almost" is subjective, so it can be pretty broad. And besides, any player is "almost even" with any other player in the extreme short term that is a single Party SNG.

It was released in October but with a limited printd run, it is very hard to found right now and most are waiting on the 2nd printing.

It was very tough to find originally. I got lucky at a Barnes & Noble because someone special ordered it and never picked it up. I haven't seen the book in any other bookstore.

Any date released for the 2nd run?

I just drove from MD to VA to purchase this book from Borders. They have it on order at all the Borders books in my area but none had it. I ordered it on amazon last night but it said that it wouldn't ship until feb so I searched a little harder. (Sorry guys in Vienna Va but I got there first). My initial impression after reading one page is that the type setting and fonts all seem to be copying 2+2 books.

I'll post again when I have read some of the book.
