Default Sammy Farha book ... lolz?

Is it me or does the Sammy Farha book look like a sucky beginners book with no interest for experienced 2+2'ers ? (covering all forms of omaha on around 200 pages??)


Oh well ... that's what you could expect I guess

does look a little slim, and the table of contents doesn't indicate anything too advanced...but hell, if you can't put your faith in a book co-authored by a guy named Storms, who can you trust?

For 15 bucks there is nothing that will prevent me from buying it to see what Farha has to say about a game he is supposedly best at.
Quit acting like spoiled kids and be grateful that the top pros are willing to share something with people in a first place.

If Sammy actually does have any "secrets" that give him an edge, do you really think he would put them in a book? He plays super high limits. That could be disastrous for him.

did anyone click "surprise me?"

I never bought off Amazon, so I can't look inside.

Forget it, read the excerpt, I laughed. It reads like John Patrick. I doubt Farha wrote more than a few lines.

Farha probably didn't write the book at all. He provided the material and his ghostwriter wrote it for him.

With the minimal amount of books on Omaha available, I'm at least willing to take a look at the book. My PLO game sucks anyways. I'm not a noob, but definitely not super advanced in the game. I'll probably wait until you guys review it.

Don't get me wrong, I am HUGE fish at Omaha, no matter the form.

I will say that it will take a good review for me to buy the book, judging from the first few pages. There are so few books that I am willing to look at sight-unseen.

Would you please change your avatar? I spent five minutes watching it and the girl never took her hands away from her breasts. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Regarding Farha's book, I will put it on my list of books to look out for the next time I am at Barnes And Noble. I am in there so much even the wooden seats have an impression of my backside.
