  • Are you posting the book here free? Or are you posting it to promote it? I am confused?
  • I believe he wants to promote it.
  • Weird post...

    You say it's legit cause it's on amazon then you say you want to promote it to put it on amazon... which one is it?

    That kinda threw me off also.. :S
  • If the book is as unclear as his post he will need help promoting the book.
  • It is on Amazon.com as of a few days ago but not presently on Amazon.ca. I found it with a simple search on Amazon for Razz books. Some decent reviews.
  • I sent the following PM to Mitchell... lets see what he says....

    Hi Mitchell,

    I have an idea how to introduce your book. What if we could hold a razz freeroll and give away a few copies of your book. This way we both win as the members of the forum would get something out of it and you would get your publicity.

    Is this something that would interest you?

    If so, let me know.

  • What a great suggestion Graham... That way we could review it for him as well....

    Great news! Mitchell has agreed to send me 8 copies to give away to members in a Razz freeroll. Once I receive them, I will organize the tourney. Thanks Mitchell!
  • Now if only I knew how to play Razz...
  • I've never understood these things...

    Wouldn't the guys who busted out FIRST from the razz freeroll benefit most from the book? Ha ha!!

    It's the same as Reebok / Nike giving free pairs of shoes and clothes / accessories to guys that make multiple millions a year.

  • It doesn't matter to me... you guys can decide who wins the books... we could possibly run a few different games and give out for the top 2 or 4 in each. One could be a NL Holdem game too for those who don't know how to play. It's up to you guys.... post your ideas here or I can start a new thread.
  • I was only playing...

    But now I nominate an official one-week long contest solely judge by /g2 for "POTW"

  • Greg is the best. Greg for mod! I always fold when Greg bets cuz he's always got the nuts.

    I don't see the point of freerolls to give away free books. I would rather see them as added prizes to a buy in tourney.

    Besides, I thought Chan didn't have Razz.

    I am open to suggestions... always looking for ideas. What do you propose?

    Correct, Chan does not have Razz, but I can set it up somewhere that does and where most people have an account (ie. FTP... I'll need to look where else has razz)
  • Two words...

    Royal Cup

    Royal Cup doesn't have Razz either and they should be available to all.

    8 books.

    2 for a $5 Razz tourney on Stars
    2 for a $5 Razz tourney on Fulltilt
    2 for Chan league leaders
    2 for Chan league TOC

    Cool... I like it... Stars doesn't have Razz, but we could do HORSE instead because the book also covers that... here is the link to the book (gotta at least give the guy a plug now :D):

  • Damn right Stars has Razz.

    Edit and btw I was thinking one book could be for the champ and one could be the bubble prize.

  • Just having read the definitive sklaskey book on razz has made it easy for me to walk over the razz section of HORSE tournaments. I'm wondering what this book has that isn't in the sklankey book?
  • Good spelling?
  • I always thought Razz was interesting but always had trouble in it... good idea :)
  • moose wrote: »

    ROTFL!

    There sure is a need to translate Sklansky into english!
  • The books just arrived at my house... I will try and get the games organized in the next couple of weeks, but it may take a little longer as I am leaving for Monte Carlo tomorrow for 10 days.

    I quickly glanced through one of the books and I have to say that it looks really well put together. Lots of hand examples (with pictures) and it looks like it is a very easy read. Thanks Mitchell!
  • Great..You are welcome...and thanks for the plug. I got a couple of nice book reviews from Razz bloggers...Bickmat's Razz Poker journey | How to win at razz poker and Brickin The Nutz...A Razz Poker Blog.

    Bickmat said the book helped him win over $300 at the $1/$2 and $2/$4 game in a few days. That is the best kind of review.

    Oh by the way, I think Sklansky's book is excellent but when he wrote his book he didn't have a Razz simulation tool. That's why I think my book adds value since I did tons of simulations to figure out new strategies.

    I also liked the idea of giving the book to players who get knocked out first. I don' recall how many I mailed, but maybe split them between the first out and the finalists.
