Default Worst Two Plus Two Poker Book Ever!

What is the worst published Two Plus Two poker book ever?

(Obviously, you can only judge from those you have read and you should note if the book does what it says on the jacket, if it is a beginner's book then judge it as that and if it is an advanced text judge it accordingly. With these caveats let us proceed. All books listed are poker books in whole or part. Not all of them are strategy books.)

What would make a book bad is if it did not do what it said it would do or if it was materially incorrect in its advice or was very poor in its production values.

Of course, none of the books may be objectively bad. In a room full of billionaires a millionaire is a pauper...

I think I remember something similar to this (not a poll though) being done a while back. If I recall correctly Tournament Poker Strategies won by a landslide.

I can't help but wonder as to your motivation behind this post. By the way, Mat and I each voted for The Theory of Poker.

Best wishes,
Mason

I haven't read Poker Tourn Strats nor Poker Truth/Farce.

I was going to vote for Theory of Poker but then Mason and Mat beat me to it.

i've decided to vote for SSHE because I don't like how they did multi-page footnotes in a few places.

I don't see the option to vote for the Video Poker book by Mason and Lynne Loomis though (which I actually have)

I have not read Poker Truth And Poker Farce.

Nevertheless I find what you are claiming inconceivable.

I wish I could view the poll without voting. Any vote I made would be a disservice to the book in question.
