I hate to sound like another fanboy, but this book is definitely a winner. It should have been sold at $99.95 from the get-go. It is going to take a while before all this information sinks in.

I just read the book last night and tried out some of the ideas in a 6-max game. After a few orbits, I identified a few tags at the table, and one clueless donk directly on my right. Perfect. Running an early bluff in a blind-vs-blind battle and beating him on a combo draw put him on mad monkey tilt and I managed to win nearly 2.5 buy-ins in a 40-minute session (he rebought with half-stacks three times).
This stuff really works — but shhhhh, don't tell anyone!!
HAHAHAH ……this is the funniest thing I ever read in my life . This guy seriously has to have been the first one to have read the whole book then played already lol. Freakin hilarious, I love it!
I am reading the book and since I am new to the online tracking statistics part of online poker I am sitting here with my jaw dropped at how amazing this book is.
All I am realizing is how badly I suck and how much more I have to learn. I want to play so bad I can hardly contain myself…..but I'm going to finish reading first.
Seriously, the fact that they published this makes me wonder what they were even thinking. I honestly cannot believe they sold this for 40 bucks, and Just to prove it, when I win my first sixty bucks off of their information I am sending it to the authors for the full 100 book price….and I am sticking to this promise.
back to reading!

The book is seriously underpriced (imho). I've read half-way through the book already and I'm very happy with the purchase. For me, the book has been a very cheap way to check-up what I'm already doing and what I've gotten lazy about with my current games. That alone, I would have paid $500 easily. Don't get me wrong, I'm picking up nuggets here and there which are gold.. fantastic job.
On one side, I fear my games are about to get more difficult. On the other side, I have to count on people not putting the time in to really understand the topics or misapplying them on the table. I'm far from talented at this game, but I take the Leatherass approach of just putting in the hours. After spending a few months on this book, I might even take a shot at the online FR 5/10 game again.
I can't wait for the studygroups to start forming. Congrats again guys.

For Pete: I understand your concerns about too many people learning the ideas contained in this book, but to keep things in perspective, think about the ratio between players at PokerStars, Full Tilt, etc. at a peak time like Sunday afternoon (i.e., over 300k) and the max number of users ever online at this website (i.e., 44). With a ratio of about 7000, I think you should be safe for now.

Still haven't downloaded it yet…. I've got this English paper due Friday and I know if I download it there's no hope for the paper getting done… Hmmm maybe I'll just take a peek at it tonight….

All the losers go home complaining about the terrible play of the winners.

Ok, well I bought it, but can't open it. Do you get emailed the password eventually or what?

You should have received a password in the same e-mail that gave you the download link.

I didn't get emailed anything. Paypal redirected me to a page with a link, but there was nothing else on that page. I downloaded it from there.
Do these emails get sent as soon as you pay? – cos maybe I haven't been sent it yet, I guess.

I pre-ordered a while back, so I got an e-mail when the book came out. I guess now they just send you directly to the link.
Take a look at the FAQ/Troubleshooting thread in this forum. You might have to send an e-mail to Ed at the "support" address.

yeah, I did, nothing there. It does say in the buying section if you buy via a primary source (such as paypal) you get an 'instant download', which is what I got. However, it's not that instant if you can't read it.
Might be worth making it clear on that page you will then be emailed a password(or however it works), cos it's kind of misleading and disappointing when instant download =/= be able to read straight away.
But thanks, JJS, email sent. I'll post the outcome in case anyone has this issue.

Great work – and I mean "work" in the literal meaning cause I know how many hard work has to be invested to complete a book! Well done, sirs!!

Yeah, Ed got back to me with a password, works fine. very prompt.
He did say it's meant to be an automated email out, so something went wrong between paying and me getting it – it's entirely possible my mail provider blocked it as spam though.
Thanks for the password Ed…. I realise if I pay for stuff in the middle of the night, I probably need to wait till morning to get it fixed if it doesn't work straight away:)
