Update on SSNL

Matt Flynn · #1 01-02-2007, 01:47 PM

Half the book is ready for submission. That's 43K words. We're holding back because we want to read the whole thing through to make sure there are no ordering errors.

Another 30K words are very close to done.

We've got the last four chapters to finish. Those are Small Cards (inlcuding Small Suited Aces), a little special one we aren't telling about yet, summary of Prelop-to-Flop Play, and volume 1's wrap-up, Planning Your Hand.

Final book length for volume 1 will be slightly longer than NLHET&P (which was 80K words) unless Mason wants a rewrite. We cut a few chapters and deferred some things to volume 2 so it wouldn't get ridiculous.

We are hyphenating "no-limit" if Mason agrees. Some people aren't gonna like that. Tough.

This book will not be called Small Stakes No-Limit. The title is not finalized.

We did not write this for any particular opponents or stakes. You cannot understand or play no-limit well without adjusting to how your opponents play. Once we get past the fundamentals, pretty much everything involves adjusting to opponents. If you can adjust well, you can play anything. You can take many of the strategies right to the top (and some of you will).

There will be over 100 example hands. Wherever possible, this book is example-driven.

This book is being professionally edited by Tommy Angelo's editor, Anna Paradox. Anna kicks butt.

lol nice. That'll depend on how much rewriting Mason wants done and what the usual timelines are.

Truth be told, after reading a draft for one of the big Core sections, my no-limit mentor refused to help other than spotting clear errors because he does not want some of the ideas published.
