The printed book has now been updated on Amazon.
I'm just bumping this so that more people will see the free offer.
Thanks, Mason. Always been a bit interested in what the book has to offer.
Much appreciated, Mason
Just got it, thanks, have always been curious.

Downloaded the update and was able to skim it yesterday. Agree with most but in particular agree on your views on must moves. Wonder if some of it was influenced by old threads 20 years or so ago (I posted under another name and was active in cardroom procedure threads).

In 1996 my book Poker Essays: Volume II was published:
https://www.amazon.com/Poker-Essays-II-M...
The book contains a paper that I wrote with Donna Harris, former poker room manager at both The Mirage and The Wynn (in Las Vegas) titled "Cardroom Theory — A Two-Way Street —" a couple of years earlier. Here's what we said about must-move games in that paper.
A related idea is to protect the main game. Players who have been playing for hours, especially if they are losing, don’t like another game to start and have their game break shortly thereafter. One solution for this potential problem is to have what is known as a “must-move game” for a reasonable period of time. This is a game where the players must move to the main game when a seat becomes available.
However, there are problems with must-move games. Particularly, the must-move game will play shorthanded the majority of the time. We therefore suggest the policy of balance — with the emphasis on the main game. That is, we recommend keeping the games balanced using the must-move option, but if no player wishes to move, the next new player would be required to go into the main game.
Just a reminder that today (Saturday) is the last day for the free kindle give-a-way.
