Lol, being a swede I have done my fair share of torrenting. To be honest, it's getting SUPER hard to find the poker e-books that are actually useful, since the people who get them don't want others to have them. Especially not for free, so the torrent thing isn't to true at all. It's much easier getting ahold of the paperback books in PDF formats than it is the online, pro asian ebooks. Also, alot of the files with poker content have a fair risk of containing loggers and whatnot, so, yeah.

ugh, seems ive gotta email to get some key for the locklizard software that wasnt sent to me-.-

oh well

Is pre-order still available ?!!
Plz fast response

try to find let there be range

Not sure if I'm going to buy this but I am really looking forward to being able to buy your PLO book, currently it'd be far too much of my bankroll but hopefully that won't be true for long.

I did a quick google search to see if really a book could be left without being pirated and there seems to be quite a bit of torrent sites that claim to have it, no doubt those torrents have keyloggers in them though.

Pirating inside of a community to which you belong just seems so wrong. I know if I were a musician I wouldn't download music torrents.

This book only costs a couple to a few buy ins depending on your stakes and the money you will win from reading it is more than worth it.
Think of it like this: this book still costs less than most college textbooks. Any book with specified material that isn't widely known or available to the public is going to be expensive but poker books are probably the only books where the investment can be recovered in a short period of time.

i didn't get a locklizard dl webpage in my spam box. it's not a unique one is it? can i just go to locklizard main page and get it therE?

those torrent sites don't actually have it, they pretend like they have everything so that you'll register at their site

its all automated bot bullshit putting up file names

The software isn't unique, but your license is.

Email support@dailyvariance.com and you will be taken care of.

zzzzzzzz hate to give a bad review, i read the first 5 chapters and am really regretting my purchase. i don't think there's much help in this book that most of you wouldn't already know. and i only play nl 50. i'm not trying at all to toot my horn or this isn't some retarded brag post. just thought i'd give my own short review.

do i recommend: no
how much did i pay: 90
why do i not recommend: pretty mundane knowledge that's better spent @ 3 months on a dc subscription (or 1 month with a HEM discount would be a better deal if you don't have hem yet)
what limits do i play: i play nl 50 (although i'm not that big of a winner, which is why i'm somewhat hesitant to say anything bad about this product)

don't get me wrong this book is definitely going to help a few ppl, but i feel most of the ppl here understand most of these concepts and they need help applying these concepts (a coach who pushes) not because they don't know it (a book which lays out the foundation)

mnj,

Thank you for your mini-review.

Please give the book a chance and finish it. At the very least, read The Exam.

All the best,
- Tri

i really think this is the problem here

Sometimes its hard to realize how little u really knew when u dont have a semi decent poker knowledge as foundation.
( Dont know if it becomes clear what i mean ... )

Like if u start Karate training and the teacher shows u a Kick and a punch ...
after 3 months of training u can do a kick and a punch.
After that u get some instrucional video about MMA striking that is very good
but u get dissapointed since there is nothing new in it for u ... after all u can allready kick and punch

maybe it becomes clear what i meant ?

i personally think lots of that stuff is borderline for NL50 since all the concepts require half way competent villians to be sucesfull
u really must pick your villian wisely if u apply the agression concepts of that book

lololol any legit advice from a high stakers player whos 10000x better than you is worth than your bankroll

I know results speak louder than words. Here is a blog from someone who read the book a few days ago. It's a small sample size but you can see the major difference between his before and after graph.

http://www.leggopoker.com/blogs/losti...-after-book-exploiting-regs-6384.html

any LP 200nl+ players buy this? I'd like to hear what you have to say about the book.

It seems that most (if not all) of the reviews so far are from 50nl players.

i dont think a 3k sample from a random qualifies as a 100% prove your book will change drastically a player's game, maybe he got just excited and tried his best/runned hot

btw dont take this in a wrong way im not saying your book is bad or something im just saying that this kind of "result" have 0 meaning and proves nothing or almost nothing

the book is good so far. it's pretty basic stnd stuff in today's games. but it helps people who are "unsure" of some things they do. i havent finished it yet but will tonight.

I'm not sure how many of 200nl+ players are in this thread at twoplustwo but check it out: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/33/...ions/review-no-limit-workbook-613780/

Also, I think Twisted said he pre-ordered. Defrag also has a copy.
