Im in (that I will post 100 hands) but I won't take the challenge.

Anything to get my game better without exposing others to risk is quite alright with me.

(and now I have something to review over lunch today)

Best poker book I've ever read and I don't even play cash games.

What lipman said.

I want to crush the highest limit games I can find. Period. I have wanted a "mentor" for a long time, maybe we just need to group together and do it that way.

Law, if you don't want to buy it, but want to read it, you can borrow mine so long as you promise to return it (since I haven't actually finished it). I have too many other things to read right now, and don't plan to finish SSH in the near future.

I found this on 2+2 awhile ago and used it until I knew what I was doing. It looks better printed out if you get rid of the colors. (Unless you use a color printer, i suppose)

I have that one too. I haven't checked it all to be sure of it's accuracy to Miller but I thought it looked reasonable.

Next vegas trip I hope someone has that printed out.

Some of the best moments on that last trip were watching 3 (or more) actuaries looking at that little blackjack chart trying to decide what to do.
