Dene Tribe's Poker Tournament Evaluation System is a Rip-Off

[malo]

Mr. Snyder's formula for calculating tournament speed does not strike me as "complicated", and certainly doesn't require any more info than a poker room can readily provide.

So I am somewhat puzzled as to why a "simplification" was deemed necessary, or even appropriate.

The failure to credit PTF as a previous work on this topic is also perplexing, and certainly troubling.

Are you actually citing this as proof? Can you get these friends to verify that they received this information in 2004? If you can, that's fine, but you have to admit "I wrote it on my computer" is pretty hard to believe.

Published where? Please provide your citation.

I published it on my computer, and burnt a disc as proof.

I sent it around to a bunch of friends, probably about the same number of people who read your book.

You're lucky I didn't file a patent or trademark it.

And you also said that you did "tournament structure evaluation". Evaluating a "good" versus a "bad" tournament structure isn't anything new; it's specifically the strategy modifications based on the speed of the blind raises. Does your evaluation contain strategy changes related to the blind structure?

Yes to all of these.

i do think arnold's book deserves a citation.... i doubt it was exactly a unique idea (although i'd never seen it specifically before, and i think arnold said someone else showed him the formula) but i do think arnold basically popularized it and has a great resource where he rates tournaments from all over USA and the internet.

I guess the question is whether 2+2 is planning on publishing a book based on Arnold's book. ER, I mean based on the article. I predict they are planning this.

If you are referring to Arnold in this statement, then you are an idiot who hasn't even bothered to grasp this concept...and you don't even know why.
