Re: If I were to write a Book....
[ QUOTE ]
By the way, the printed market place really sucks when you are talking about learning how to actually CRUSH small stakes no limit. That is what we are trying to accomplish with this book, step by step guides to truly crush small stakes, not just throw a bunch of useless / meaningless theories at you. [/ QUOTE ] I would buy it, but then for 30 bucks i'd be daft not to, but if you do do it, please take your time, no hurry like. Mack

Re: If I were to write a Book....
To clear your head about this: you could sell a thousand of this book (in ebook format) tomorrow at $20 each. If you publish it will be a year and you'll get some ridiculous percentage of what we actually pay for it.

Tien, sorry if this comes off rude, but I seem to recall you gave the raise that [censored] up speech as your exit from poker. Do you still play? [/ QUOTE ] No, I am involved heavily in business and entrepreneurial activities right now. There are many subjects that pertain to the book I could write that don't have to deal with poker but I could really help mold and shape mentalities. But I have pretty much stopped all online playing.

[/ QUOTE ] I wasn't thinking about using traditional publishing methods which I am very well aware the profits become very slim. Just throwing the idea out there.

There is a huge market of players out there looking to improve and there is no guide out there to show them the step by step ways that the higher stakes players have used to be where they are today. [/ QUOTE ] This is why i hope you do NOT write this book [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Will you call the book "raise that [censored] up"? [/ QUOTE ] If so, I will take two.

Re: If I were to write a Book....
[ QUOTE ]
What is PNL? It's not only me writing this book. I have a lot of top notch players interested in contributing to the book itself. What you guys think you know about poker these guys would totally rip it apart. Meaning restructuring the entire way small stakes players think. Yes there is enough to fill up an entire book. Hell there is enough to fill up 2. [/ QUOTE ] PNL is the general abbreviation for Professional No Limit Hold 'Em (Flynn, Mehta, Miller), currently at volume one with a volume 2 being worked on right now and most likely another in the pipeline. Back when you were last here it was referred to as Small Stakes No Limit. They have the goal of starting with the basics and then teaching you how to analyze and plan the whole hand. I've read it and in my (admittedly limited) opinion the material from the first volume is really good and points to a lot of promise from the later volumes. These will deal with more specific elements of the game, as opposed to the first volume being pretty much devoted to NL fundamentals, and then Planning Around Commitment and Stack to Pot ratios (two key elements used in their method of hand planning). I strongly suggest that you read it before starting on your own book project to see how much of what they have to say overlaps with what you have to say. In my previous response I did not mean to give the impression that I was totally against you writing a book. In fact, based on your previous articles I would encourage you to write a lot. Instead I wanted to point out that if you do you should meet the following requirements: 1) Meet a need that has not yet been met, either in one book or in the combination of other popular books on Hold 'Em. I don't want to pay $25 and find out that 75% of the book is simply someone else saying stuff that was contained in the other books I already own. 2) Make sure that any new material you have is sufficient to actually fill a book. After you and your associates have written what you have to say, compared it to the current body of work available for purchase, and discarded redundant material, you may find that what you have leftover is some of the most groundbreaking material ever to be written about small stakes NL. Unfortunately, it is all covered in 50 pages. Single sided. Double spaced. In this circumstance, publishing as a book would be a really bad idea. This doesn't mean that you don't want to release it in some commercial form, it just means that you need to find the medium best suited to the material, not vice versa. Maybe it would be really good as a series of magazine articles in CardPlayer, or maybe it would best be presented in a two hour video, or maybe a one day seminar. Either one would quite likely be able to make some money for you and return appropriate value to the customer. Based on your previous work, I think that you have something important to say. I just think you need to analyze carefully as to the best way to say it.
