Sick $ price, anyone read it ?

Book Review: Let There Be Range | Sean Poker

Never heard of it but if you were tempted to buy it I'd consider "hiring" it off you for a week if this would help with the cost. Although I suspect that it might not be printable in order to prevent this happening - otherwise there would be bootleg copies all over the place.

I always assumed (probably correctly) that these ridiculous priced e-books are shams in the sense that its unlikely it will have anything so revelatory you won't find anywhere else - otherwise it would have leaked into general poker knowledge already, and is really just preying on the fact that there are a bunch of online poker players who have the roll for this kind of book without batting an eyelid, and may see it as some sort of 'status' thing.

I've heard players say that they won so much after reading them that it made up for the price, but quite frankly, I think they are lying. Its easy to understand why someone would justify it in this way, but still...

Surely, you'd have to be a sucker to pay $1k+ for an 81-page e-book! Or am I missing something?

..im on page 24 now...(and no, I didnt pay)....so far i have not read anything you wouldnt find in Harrington + a couple of hours reading on a forum ....although at least it doesnt start by explaining the rules of the game (etc).

Some decent stuff on limped pots, showdown value, credible bluffs, equity and the usual stuff on hand ranges.

Right, just DLed the torrent (took about 20 seconds to get it), and I think I was right. I've only scanned the low/mid stakes leaks section, but it doesn't look like anything you wouldn't get on your average 2+2 strategy forum. Also, and I say this in full knowledge of my fish status, I think one or two of their key points are plain wrong here, and are wrong probably because they are high-stakes players who are essentially scoffing at the fish at the lower stakes. Seriously. Maybe its just badly written and I misunderstood....

Anyway, seeing as you can get it for free, fill your boots....I'm sure there are useful tips in there, as there are in most books.

Read it, good book.

Has terrible spelling mistakes and errors throughout so I am happy about not paying for it.
