Default Question About \"BOW\" in Gordon\'s Little Green Book

Who is "BOW"? Also, does that strategy work effectively in cash games? Thanks.

Spirit Rock, and it works for him in cash games. The consensus in the forum is that Gordon misexplains it (misunderstands it?) in LGB, so using the strategy 'as-is' will spew chips.

Although LGB is great, the explanation of the BOW system is the worst part of the whole book.

So if the BOW system is explained incorrectly, how is BOW's strategy really supposed to work?

Just bet a lot. That's really all there is to it. I'm surprised more people don't do it.

I hear that he makes people play as if there are invisible antes on the table.

I always find it funny that when people ask who BOW is, people respond with Prahlad's screen names.

Not fall on the floor laughing, but I smile...
