"I met a well Known successful pro who taught me this system online at Starbucks."

Wow, he learned the system over a cup of coffee!

Sadly, this book is currently ranked ahead of The Poker Mindset for Amazon Kindle.

The ranking may have something to do with the price, the 'online' in the title and the word 'system' ... people are always looking for 'systems'

The saying, "A Fool And His Money...." comes to mind.

It's all price. People will buy $0.99 books that everyone says are horrible because they are cheap.

People also like easy. Saying you have a full proof system implies that a game can be beat based on a simple set of rules and newbies to poker seem to think that you can win doing that.

Its why there are so many books on negative expectation games like craps, etc. that are not beatable long term.

Yep, no one actually wants to work for anything hardly anymore. That's too hard. You mean I have to read, study and above all THINK? How about some nice steps to follow? Garbage!

I will say I would rather the people I play against read this book and not ITH or the Poker Mindset.

I really don't have a problem with people advertising 'system's, foolproof, guarantees, etc. That's business.

I just think it's funny that he actually said he learned the system at Starbucks - doesn't seem like the best marketing tactic

But if he learned it from a pro in 30 or 60 minutes over coffee and is now making money with it then it must be a real system that's quick and easy to learn...lol, I can see the tactic working quite well.

Everyone can search for the magic bullet until they realise there isn't one.

What I am confused about is the inclusion, in the description, of the word online. Was the pro online and the author at Starbucks? Were they both online at Starbucks? Or is it a typo and the author meant he learned this online system.

I think it's funny the book is tagged "firewood" - probably says everything

I'm not entirely sure that I believe that people who bought it also bought Theory of Poker and HPFAP.
