Judging from the spine you have a lot of fluff in this book. Must be like most typical poker books explaining game set up and hand values.
I thought there was only one paragraph needed that says jam and pray.

And value priced at the cost of one flop bet in a .25/.50 PL game.
Will this be out in time for the BBotB?

I have a print proof en route right now, slated to arrive tomorrow.
I'm cutting it a little closer than I wanted, but I do expect it to be available before BBOTB. Don't have any plans for pre-order, though I was planning on bringing some copies with me to BBOTB if I can get them in time.

The SOHE World Champ will autograph copies for free at BBotB if they arrive in time.

I love it. I wish the back said something like, 'Welcome to the future of poker' or something.

Why would you autograph Harley's photo?

Chippy is pretty sure that Chippy's set hand is the main focal point of the photo. Harley is inadvertently placed in the background.

I think an autographed copy should be one of the prizes at the prestigious World Championship of SOHE in less than a month!

I was thinking this same thing.
Several autographs:
Author, and all 3 world champs in the events history. I think they're all gonna be there.

About right.
That way Chippy knows what he's signing
Can't see the forest for the trees.
And if they arrive a bit later, my flight isn't immediate so you can get the new SOHE World Champ's signature too. Hehe

The most important revelation in this book is that Jim's last name isn't Ulacrum.

Ordered mine.
But I feel it's incumbent upon me to remind you that despite it's then huge $100 price tag, Doyle gave Super/System away to the most reliable fish in the game including Gabe Kaplan. I elected to pay and spare myself the embarrassment of being given a copy. Although Doyle's strategy did years later elicit one of the best Gabe poker lines of all time when someone reminded him that Doyle had given him Super/System for free and Gabe responded, "Yeah it was free and it only cost me about a million."
Fuck I can see what's coming down the pipeline from Rungood Publishing now. Gonna be a good year.

Super System really cost $100 when it was first published?
Thank you for your purchase, sir. I believe you may be literally the first copy sold.
Yeah it was. This was back when Doyle first self-published and literally sold it out of his trunk at road games and in Vegas and back when the title was "How I Made Over $1,000,000 Playing Poker."

Must have been some really lush games if he could walk in there announcing he was going to crush them, sell them a book on how he planned to do it, and still walk out with gobs of cash.
If you ignore the robbery risk, of course.
For sure. Though this was after his back to back WSOP wins in 76 and 77, so I imagine his reputation preceded him.
