What's Your Edge
Cole South : Poker Blog I played a bunch of both NL and PLO this month and the biggest pots have been
this $374,000 PLO pot against Ziigmund

and this 500/1kNL hand
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3526750
it definitely feels good to be running well again and hopefully the games stay soft!
Life-wise the month was great too. I'm getting very excited for the winter and getting back on the mountains. Hopefully I'll be able to make it back out to Baldface this year, and I'm definitely making snowboard trips to Whistler and a few other places out west. I've heard that Whitetail mountain is the best option for day trips from DC and so I am planning on buying a season pass there and going a bunch. Anyone in the DC area interested in day trips snowboarding during the week?
For the past couple of months I was also working very hard on a NLHE book. I coauthored one with my friend Tri (aka SlowHabit). He's an excellent NLHE player and teacher and has been steadily killing the games for a long time now. I am very pleased with the way our book turned out and so far the reviews of it have been great. It's geared towards mid and high stakes players that want to take their game to the next level, and it's price reflects that. At $1850 a copy, the book is expensive but those who have purchased it have been very pleased and feel that the impact on their hourly rate has more than paid for the book. You can get more information and purchase the book at DailyVariance.com. Writing the book was a great experience and really made me think long and hard some deep NLHE concepts.
Happy holidays and good luck!

as if he needs to make a poker book for money. he kills games. Making a book that price is a great idea.
I wish they all started out priced this high. I also think cardrunners should cost way more per month

What am I missing here? Does this seem a tiny bit spewy by DaMunsta? I mean that 3rd reraise on the flop is really strong to me. Maybe that is just nosebleeds but I can't see how an over pair is good there enough to be profitable

that books looks really in depth but thats like my whole rakeback check for the month.

You forgot the decimal in the price on your book. People think it's selling for \$1,850.00 not \$18.50...Honest mistake.
Dec 2, 08 03:15:21
way to kill the games cole. this book is only relevant for mid to high stakes players, so 1850 really isn't that outrageous especially when it gives you insight into how and what it takes to get to the nosebleed games. and i'm pretty sure anyone who spends 1850 isn't going to copy it for everyone to read

Funny how he didnt mention he lost 550,000 in PLO yesterday. or that he got it in with a pair and a flush draw for over \$300K against Ziig's top set and lost. hmmmmm..... Selective memory! :) ...Still a beast though...

I think its pretty cool. Never heard of a book selling for \$1850. To all the retards talking ish consider coaching costs and I think the price is very fair.

busta,
you probably should have read 2 lines above the link where Cole told you the price.
Cole,
Congrats on the big month and I hope the book sales go well, I think it's a great idea. See you in Florida

i thought this was a def typo, but then clicked on the link saw the price and fell off my chair..gl with that
Dec 2, 08 20:11:51
Its actually surprising to see how people are attracted to high priced stuff like this bc they assume it was written by God. I think people will buy it but you should seriously reconsider the price bc not many CR type people will want to pay for it..

Will we ever see a CTS PLO video? That is something that the PLO fans of Cardrunners would surely appreciate.

1850 sounds like a good bet on the river.
Your are blurring the lines between a value bet and a bluff.
At 2k, i fold, at 1500 I call..but 1850\$ makes me think for a second....
I hope its a hardcover atleast

Stinger, Well put.
Cpar... It was written by God. I can't wait to get my copy.
Obviously anyone who thinks the price is outrageous has no concept of investment, which is the fundamental + underlying concept behind every decision in poker. Right now I am looking at buying a market research report for ~3k so in many ways I could say the book is underpriced but since its the first of its kind it will likely be slow to take off. Not sure how you protect your copyright but I hope the information stays very well concealed.
Cole, Congrats on the big month I wish you blogged more. Something I really wanna see is pics of ur increasingly not so new pad. I don't get it you are flying to Montana for day trips... FML thats alot of air time. I would be down for any 4+ trip to any resort any time this winter, except jan 5-10 for PCA and Jan 17-20 for Sundance film festival (and snowboarding).

I quite believe the book to be worth the price, but have to mention that it made me think of the Futurama episode where Fry is buying Leela a pet for X-mas (not christmas.) He asks how much for a lizard and how much for the parrot. Storekeeper says "The lizards are buck each, the parrot is \$500," and Fry whistles and says "That's a helluva good parrot!"
Such a book would be tax deductible, no?

"Guys don't be so quick to judge, it may have 20,000 pages."
Awesome

I think that you sell a book for that price just shows that you totally lost touch with reality.
