Jct: Sorry I haven't posted much over the past 6 months. I spent the last year
correcting the >1000 typos in my 15,000 problem hands but can certify that
they're now ready.
I'm going to change the cover of my final edition and add a
phrase I've been using to explain what the TurmelTwoStep does.
"Play like a bookie."
Isn't "Call overlays, fold underlays," the very same as
"bet overlays, decline underlays." Isn't that what every bookie does? It's
exactly what every bookie does. And it's exactly what every TwoStepper does.
Once the turmeltwostep.com web site is set up and the final changes made, I'll
then publish that edition to the world's bookstores. But if anyone wants the
pre-world edition as it now stands, it is available at
http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=682162
As soon as the world-edition is ready, this edition will be shut down.
There have only been 3 bought. If no one else gets one, and if the
TurmelTwoStep becomes the poker bible exercise book of bookie-like players,
then that should make those 3 earlier edition books pretty valuable someday.
For instance, lulu only printed 7 of the the very first edition I published at
lulu with the 1000 typos. I have three. I've offered to buy the other four back
but no one has taken me up on it.
So I'm writing this as an investment tip for something that won't be
available for very much longer before the final edition takes its place.
PS. The Brantford Poker Casino is now on strike so I've decided to
go to Ottawa this weekend to play poker at the Lac Leamy casino across
the river in Gatineau Quebec. It's a $5 rake on machine tables which is
horrible at the low-limits but not so bad at a Twenty-Forty or Quarter-Fifty
game.
So I'm inviting my Quebec, New York, and Eastern Ontario friends who
played with me at Casino Turmel in the 1980s and 1990s to join me at High Noon
on Saturday June 7 for a week-end of high-stakes low-rake-off limit Poker.
They also run private Tournaments so I might try to organize
another Canadian Open Tournament, say the "Great Canadian Gambler's Open
Challenge." We need no one's permission for 50 or 100 person sit-and-go and
they're looking into the rake for a $1000 or $2000 buy-in.
More news soon and I'm going to start writing up some of my more
interesting hands and the unusual way of playing when you know
all the odds.
