Our e-books are finally here. At the time of this writing, we have ten of our titles available in e-book form and three more are being worked on. Once these are complete, we’ll begin the process of getting our newest books, Harrington on Online Cash Games: 6‑Max No‑Limit Hold 'em by Dan Harrington and Bill Robertie, Analytical No‑Limit Hold ’em; Crushing Mid‑Stakes Short‑Handed Games by Thomas Bakker, and DUCY by David Sklansky and Alan Schoonmaker available in e-book form. When we say e-book form, it means in addition to being able to read the book on the Internet, it includes one-download into a reader device such as an Amazon Kindle or a Barnes & Noble Nook. For those interested in making this purchase, check out our e-book page in our 2 + 2 Store.
We’re also close to launching two new forums which have been requested by some of our posters. The first concerns women’s issues in poker and the second would be a history forum. I don’t yet know what these forums will be called, but if they’re not up on site at this moment, they should be there soon.
We also now have a new hand converter. We think it’s terrific and believe most of you will feel the same way. Thanks to our friends at Hold ’em Manager for supplying it. Also, we want to thank Deuces Cracked for the previous hand converter we’ve used up to this point. It too was a great product.
On the bad news front, we now have a delay in our next book, The Intelligent Poker Player. Fortunately, the problem is now solved, but the publication date should now be late April as opposed to late March. Because of this, we’re holding up the second excerpt from The Intelligent Poker Player that we were planning to run in this month’s magazine, but it should appear in the April issue.
Changing the subject, on our Brick and Mortar Forum, we’ve had a discussion concerning must-move games and whether there is a better way of handling these. In my opinion, and I’ve written about this before, anything would be better than what most cardrooms (that I know of) use. Must-move games frequently break games, create unnecessary lists, and prevent tourist types from sitting down (since there is a list instead of an open seat). So while I do agree that must-moves are fine for perhaps an hour, they need to go, and go quickly.
