I ask many people who have purchased the guide to write a review if they want. They don’t all have two plus two accounts, so yes in many cases they are creating an account just to write the review. More seasoned posters have also written positive reviews as well, like Bobby Peru.

Did the people who wrote positive reviews purchase a book or did some of them receive a free book in exchange for a review? I noticed you tried to send Mason Malmuth a free book to solicit a review. If any of the reviews are incentivized, it should be disclosed since you keep citing the positive reviews as a selling point. As a guideline, the FTC requires some sites to disclose when a review is incentivized.


No one who posted a review got a “free” copy of the book, they all paid for it in some form whether via coaching or just buying a standalone book. A couple got a modest discount ($5 off the book for instance). Most did not receive an “incentive,” however. Hope that helps.

Mason would have gotten a free copy because of his status in the poker world; his review would have carried much more weight.

Thanks for clarifying. I’m still genuinely curious how so many people who don’t have 2p2 accounts found your book, bought it, and decided to create an account afterwards for the sole purpose of writing a review when they never bothered to create an account before.

Are the reviewers friends and acquaintances from your local card room who heard about your book? None of them got a free book? I would’ve hooked a brother up.

Google searches lists my book near the top when you search for plo5 books which I assume is how lots of people without 2p2 accounts find the book.

Also Ilikeurstyle is in fact my poker friend from my card room (and yes, he got a free copy). I forgot about that one review. Oops!

That’s amazing they all found your book on Google and decided to create new accounts just to post positive reviews instead of being lazy or keeping it to themselves. I’d always thought poker players were a lazy selfish bunch. You’re doing good here creating community and bringing out the best in poker players. Carry on!

Hi all,I have written, edited, and revised a detailed guide on crushing five-card PLO. It is in its third edition. It runs at 21 single-spaced pages right now. I sell it through my coaching thread on this site and am keeping it exclusive to 2+2 members for now, but may be going with mass publishing at some point (I have gotten several requests to do so).It costs $50. This price

Thanks for sharing.


New edition of the guide released!

Exciting news! I am releasing a fourth edition of the guide with more pre- and post-flop equities, estimating equity, bluff catching, additional special practice pointers and tactics, backdoor draws, and other helpful information (24 pages). This will probably be the last edition I ever release unless I go with mass publishing through Amazon as I am starting a new, awesome law job soon. The price is only going up by $10, to $60. Anyone who already bought the third edition of the guide will get the new edition at no additional cost; to obtain the new edition, you just need to email me using the email chain you used to buy the previous edition and in the subject line put "new edition."

Thanks and good luck!


Do u have a link for the book?

No link, when you buy a copy I email it to you.


In honor of mental health awareness month, I am offering a $10 discount on the guide during the month of May (i.e., $50 instead of $60, or $53 for users who cannot send Paypal payments as a friend).


Who also didn't understand at first why there were 5 cards, if even with 4 in PLO your brain melts? �� But now it's boring without the fifth.


You can also find a $50 discount

In honor of pride month I am offering a $10 discount for the next month. ($50.)

I’m interested! Is this discount good through the entire Pride Month of July?

The $10 discount is good through July since I started it at the end of June (pride month).


I came upon this thread while researching for material to learn PLO5. I have been a NLH guy my whole career and in the last year transitioned to PLO4 and mixed game and recently I came upon some PLO5 opportunities. I would say that I was very impressed with this book, it offered me a lot of practical advice on the differences from PLO4 and different spots where profit comes from in PLO5. The information is not just theoretical but easily applicable. Since I'm relatively new to PLO in general, it also gave me a frame of perspective on some macro level theory for PLO. I found the book very much worth the money.


I bought the book two days ago. I'm a relative beginner at PLO5, but I've been moderately profitable for the past six months. Dumbo's tips will definitely help me. The book has changed my way of thinking about my hand strengths and betting behavior. Thumbs up and a clear recommendation to buy – $60 well spent.


For the month of March I am offering a $10 discount, so the guide costs $50 through March 31, 2026.


A. Have you added-changed any content in past year?

B. Are you still committed to providing future editions for free to past buyers?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Nothing new and yes will still send updates if I make any (full disclosure: I don’t expect to make another edition anytime soon).


I am offering a $10 discount through the rest of the month in celebration of mental health awareness month. I would have offered it sooner in the month but it skipped my mind, I’ve been very busy with work and poker. Thank you.


For pride month I’m offering a continued $10 discount through the month of June. So the guide only costs $50 during that period.
