The first chapter is not about poker, so it does get better.....
Bert, did you write this book, or do you know the author?
I know, I know.....
Was simply trying to encourage a little bit of openness, in the interests of getting a better response.
Ha, yes, I gathered as much.
I hope the chap's book sells well, I really do.
I do find it all rather odd, to be honest.
In his spot, I'd come onto a new forum as a complete stranger, full of regulars who I don't know, & say something like.....
Hey Guys,
My name is Bert, my mate (or me) have written a book, it's his first attempt. What do you think? Instead, we get "hey guys, I just read a great new poker book". Which, you know, rather insults our intelligence, & gets us all off on the wrong foot.
Probably best not to tell us it is a "great story" either. The human mind does not react well to being told what to think by strangers.
Anyway, I hope your book sells a good few copies, Bert. I'd love to be brave or well-versed enough to write a book, so I'm actually a shade jealous.
If it helps, here's the Amazon link......

First post is an all praising, fantastic recommendation of a restaurant,estate agent etc. It usually reads like an advert too!....how stupid do they think we are?..... It works the opposite!
As you say, just come on and be honest...new business/book/service, try us etc.
