Question about Ray Zee's Omaha 8B Book

[Pokamon4e]

The book is quite horribly written, and I still wonder how he management to organize the content this badly. But most people seem to think it's the best book on the topic.

At one time, it was definitely the gold standard for this particular game.

However, it was obviously written pre-internet boom and as such, the online games are a different animal as compared to live play.

I personally found it a little disappointing as compared to other 2+2 books, but still extremely helpful. The key though is to adjust to the game type that you're in. In other words, don't just follow the advice verbatim in all situations.

My wish list for future books would definitely include an update to this book with concrete playing examples, a discussion of some of the math, adjustments for online play, etc....but I also know it ain't gonna' happen.

I'd still recommend it along with Baldwin's chapter in SS2. Krieger/Tenner wrote what I thought was a good one for beginners but I know some posters didn't like it.

When ripping a book because it is "horribly written", perhaps you should make sure your post is legible?
