Hey, Mason, I am familiar with side games. Tell you what, Joe is presenting a seminar on poker tells in Vegas at Caesar's Palace in November. How about you and me getting together and play a $10,000 head-to-head freezeout. I'd really enjoy that. Wouldn't cost anymore than your WSOP entry.

Best wishes,
Marv

LOL, now we really know Dr Marv is coming from, every low limit donkey on the Internet always challenges others to a heads up match for high stakes and when you set up the heads up table, they log off.

Hi Al:

(Did you catch the poll I conducted in Poker Theory Forum on what 2+2ers thought of as your greatest contribution to poker theory? You may find it interesting.)


[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't at the time but I just took a look at it. There doesn't seem as if there is/was much interest, so there isn't much to comment on. However, if you want my opinion, my best work has been in getting other authors to produce some very good stuff.

Best wishes,
Mason

Default Hey, steamboatin\'

Read the post, my friend. No internet game. This one would be in a brick and mortar Las Vegas casino. And, by the way, I'm not a low limit player.

Best wishes,
Marv K.

My goodness man, you're just adding more dirt on top of yourself.

You don't even understand what you're being made fun of for doing.

You must do very little forum (any forum) reading and/or playing online if you don't realize how often these silly little challenges are made...and then said challenger is ridiculed into silence.

You are now guilty of 2 of the top credibility busters:

1. Making silly HU challenges
2. Promoting books whose strategy (granted not all strategies) are flawed.

Joe, Joe, wherefore art thou Joe??

P.S. Maybe if this tells book hits the local library, I'll give it a look.
P.S.#2 I know I'm coming off as a smarta**, but your comments are having an impact on the sale of this book, regardless of how minor.

Hi tyboy74:

[ QUOTE ]
So the next time you decide to make a useless post here at 2+2 I suggest that you go and try to write a half decent poker instead of critizing other publisher's use of poor paper quality.

[/ QUOTE ]

But we don't use poor paper. In fact, the paper quality we use has been far superior to what Karlins' publisher has used until just recently. I did notice that Arnold Snyder's new book, which was recently released, was done on the type of paper that Karlins describes, but it is still not as good as the paper we use.

Best wishes,
Mason

Sorry, but the packaging quality of 2+2 books is terrible! Mine are all falling apart! My copies of the other books aren't doing that. Maybe if I didn't carry around 2+2 books all the time and read them like 20 times over, they would be in pristine condition? The pages are all dog-eared and have food stains on them from reading them over lunch. They've been sat on, thrown under tables, sat on dashes in the Vegas heat so they can be picked up and read in traffic on the 15. I really wish you'd make them stand up to the wear and tear a real student of poker gives them.

Signed,

A satisfied customer more interested in what's on the paper than the paper itself.

Ok, anyone who ever says again Mason doesn't have a sense of humor, read this. That's funny, I don't care who you are.

This book has definitely dropped off the 'must have' list now. If a forum discussion on a site where you never post can put you on forum tilt, I think you may need to work on your ability to control your emotions. The silly challenge to a poker duel does not seem like someone who has written material on persuasion and psychology.
