    he's a mid/high stakes cash player and is the co-author of let there be range with cole south which originally sold for over $2500. They also sold a book for HS PLO that was over $5k but its not available anymore. So yeah, not unknown

    Selling a book for 100 that talks about making a million dollars, seems reasonable.

    Not saying I'm gonna buy it but don't knock it until you try it.


    Key letter A book for a grand. I sold a baseball card for a grand does that make me Babe Ruth?

    Wacky, while I def understand ur point that a 1-on-1 training lesson typically costs around 100$, I personally think that a coaching lesson with one-on-one teaching and interaction with a top tier player, is going to be far more beneficial to a mid level player than reading this book will be. It's crazy how many leaks I can spot in one hour of watching a low/mid stakes player grind while doing a lesson, as opposed to someone just reading about what they "should" do in tournaments, rather than having it explained to you in-game. Best of luck to this guy, I just think he mighta benefited from a lil supply/demand study and realize his price point is a tad high

    Agree with you that if you only had $100 to spend, its better on 1 hour of training. But lets say you are going to invest over $1k in training. Then all of a sudden a $100 book might not be so bad. I would never spend so much on a book personally, but he probably will get some sales even at that price.

    lol @ some of the comments here......its prob a book that isn't poker strategy based but life based, and either way 100 for a book from someone smarter/better at poker then everyone on this site is worth it....oh well back to 2p2

    Same people will throw good money after bad...or "I was priced in so I called $100", shouldve bought the book may have told you how to save the $100. Its high priced but if it bothers everyone so much dont buy it.

    If anyone is calling him an unknown they clearly do not know about "Let there be range", which is imo one of the best books out there. I am excited to read his new book, judging from his previous books it should be awesome.
