Thanks for the video. I also found the website for the book, and the table of contents looks really good. I'm honestly torn because you and Baluga are both releasing books right now and they both sound awesome.

One thing I'm curious about is how realistic it is to offer 2 hours of coaching to everyone. What if 200 people buy the book the first week? It will take you a long time to get to everyone, and I doubt that you want to spend the rest of your life doing the same coaching session over and over anyway. Or are you thinking it will be a group coaching thing where you get a bunch of the readers together at once?

Also, is there any chance you could release maybe a one or two page excerpt so we can see what the writing style is like?

I already purchased the book about a week ago and read the complete book. I already had 5 coaching sessions with Oliver a few months back and I was really looking forward to his book. I really liked the book and I really like the fact that its setup as a "study" book, meaning you have questions to answer and excersises to make. Im not in the position to qualify this book compared to others since I didnt read other ebooks and I dont quality myself as a top noch poker player.

However, 300 euros for an ebook and 2 hours of coaching is a steel.. AND ITS PRINTABLE!!!

Edit: To mogwai316: he shows a few pages in the movie

Thanks, I just went back and looked at it. Missed it the first time because I was doing other things on the computer while listening to the audio in the background.

I already read it and I can only highly recommend it. Also you will get a lot out of the sessions with improva since hes a real good coach.
Btw if you don't have a coach and you are seriously looking to improve your game, I would hire him again Smile

I already read the book, and if you are an aspiring midstakes player or even an advanced small stakes guy, I would strongly advise you to purchase this book. You just burn money by not doing so. I don't have the time for writing an extensive review right now, so let me just put it that way: With this book Improva offers a tool to beat the games which is structured, clear and effective in a way I have honestly not seen in print before (and I have seen a lot). The price he asks for it (including two hours of coaching) is absurdly low compared to the value he offers and the only silly thing I have ever heard coming out his mouth.

For the price of a bike he is offering a Porsche including two Ferrari-calendar-girls as long as stock lasts. If you own two trousers, sell one of them and buy this book.

lol

I just started reading the book and so far the concepts are explained very well. I suggest no one buy this book so that the knowledge will be mine, all mine.

I've read the book, my only suggestion is charge more to stop people reading it!
