Contributing to the Two Plus Two Internet Magazine

[dboy23]

I'd love to write a stud article but my english isn't very good, nor do I believe I have enough experience in the game. I really hope Andy writes like 5. And hopefully some of the other greats in here do too. Like the people playing 75/150. If anyone feels like writing one specific to low limits I could help.

I may write an article concerning Stud 8/b, though I have yet to choose a topic on it. All the older posters might recognize me, though I'm not sure how good of a thing that is. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I've received a very promising Stud/8 article and a razz article I'm looking forward to reading.

But, overall the stud/stud8/razz submissions have been low. I'm hopeful some of the posters I contacted directly via PM will make submissions.

Stud will only be properly represented in the Magazine if the posters here make submisions.

Dynasty,

I got your PM when I was travelling. Now, I am currently moving from Boston to So. Cal. However, I would like to contribute when I get a chance after I'm settled. This will be another month. I have some great ideas on how Hold'em player can make the transition to stud games.

Contact you in a month or two.

Hope things are well,
Joe

Usually, I would make this type of response in a PM. But, I've met Joe, we get along, and others should benefit from reading this.

Articles which frame stud (or Omaha, etc.) strategy in a hold 'em frame of reference are not something I'm looking for. I'm adverse to publishing stud articles which are written for hold 'em players.

I want stud articles written for stud players. I believe that makes for much more interesting reading for not only stud players but also non-stud players. A stud article written for a stud player is almost certainly going to be more strategically advanced than one written for non-stud players.

I've rejected a couple Omaha articles written with this same approach. That doesn't mean I would dismiss Joe's article or a similar one. But, it has to reach a much, much higher standard in order to get published.

I think you should change your mind, this is a huge segment of players who are becoming more open minded about playing other games. Count me as someone who is included in that list.

Allthough a basic here are the rules and basic plays for hold'em players article might be a waste of time, I must admit that a good article by a player of JoeTalls caliber is very interesting.

Making poker popular as a whole sounds like a good idea, especially with HORSE finally appearing online. Most poker players of the new age have been introduced to poker through the WPT and many are interested in new games.

There are many HE players who taking shots at Stud games since the HORSE-boom that I keep noticing the same mistakes. The mistakes are so common that I have formed a list of them. The list keeps growing and is larger than I could have imagined. Such an article would reach a much wider audience.

If that's the case, then it's not really an article describing "how Hold'em player can make the transition to stud games". You should send me a PM telling me exactly what the article is.

So is that the sole usage which 2+2 is purchasing 3 months in the online magazine, and all rights to the author otherwise?

Yes.
