Yeah, like YOU need it! It's really for the rest of us who want to become as scary as you are, Speak.

For those of you in Las Vegas, Ed Miller reports on 2+2 that the Gambler's Book Club (edit: I thought it was "Store"?) should have its copies of Theory by today (that is, Wednesday). Another advantage of living in that big bad city!

Also noted on the thread: orders placed since Sunday will be processed in the order they arrived. There were evidentally many hundreds of pre-orders made before Sunday (really??), so shipping might take an extra day or two if you didn't pre-order already.

I have the first copy reserved at my local Barnes and Noble. They said it should be here on 5/31 (next Wednesday).

FYI- I am in a suburb of Atlanta and I was told that they were only receiving 2 copies. I am sure that this is just an initial order, but if you want to get a copy right away, I'd either order from Conjelco or get a copy reserved.

I can't wait for this book!

Just got home from commencement, opened my mailbox, and there was a priority box from Conjelco with my two books!! Sweeet! (I did not pay for express shipping.)

First impresssion: HOH3 looks totally awesome -- fifty hand problems, along with a scoring system similar to "How Good is Your Limit Holdem" (and others in that series I assume). Some examples are from actual tournaments: for example, Negreanu vs Farha or Hellmuth vs Matusow (can't wait to get to that one!).

NLHE: Theory and Practice (NLHE: TP?) looks equally enticing: TOC is very long, but every topic looks key. For example: under a topic "Sizing Your Preflop Raise" are sections on Deep Stack (with subheadings) and Short Stack (for example, if you want action/ if you don't). Bet-sizing has, of course, many, many sections, not only in this preflop section. Looks very cool, but harder to summarize than HOH3.

In short, I have to finish my grading (yes, graduation occurs before final grades are due), so I can get to my reading!!

BTW, for those who are interested in the cover of TNLHE (which was supposed to have the Pharaoh's club chips on it, see thread: http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/genera...spotlight.html ), I thought I would provide this update.

The cover actually looks better in person than in the mock-ups, but the photoshopped 2+2 inlays still look like cr*p compared to the Pharaohs. The amusing thing is that although (as someone pointed out) they also photoshopped out the Paulson mold, a ghost image still remains. It reminds me of the Nevada ghosts on the samurais: if you look REAL close, you can see a shadow of the mold. (And btw, I don't mean this to stir up controversy or whatever about the samurai ghosts: I didn't think it was a big deal.)

I hope everybody else who pre-ordered got their books on Saturday too. (And I feel for Jojo, who is out of town. But I suppose he has his new custom TR Kings to console him!)

Is there anybody out there that did order early, but has still not received HOH3? I ordered early through 2+2 and still have not received my copy.
