Selling my copy of Beyond Counting Exhibit CAA

[judgeholdem1848]

I am cross posting this from the twoplustwo marketplace. It says this forum does not allow linking so as a new ebay user I am working on getting this to the top of the search pages.

I am selling my copy of Beyond Counting Exhibit CAA on ebay. This is the 2009 edition, it is not pirated. Very high quality binding and printing, textbook quality. I have the buy it now price set at $5000, bidding starting at $1000 though I will entertain any serious offers if someone is interested in purchasing the book now. Note that this is the real Beyond Counting Exhibit CAA, not the much more limited in scope 2000 edition or the very restricted cliffs notes*.

This book is a magnum opus of advantage play. There is nothing else like it. It primarily consists of original research by the author. The meat of the work is the many tables describing optimal strategies for everything from complex loss rebates to optimal coupon play to correct hole card strategy for BJ. This is a heavy theory book but it also contains a great deal of practical advice and overall is very well written. Every page yields new insights. Its every bit as mathematically rigorous as Peter Griffen or Richard Epstein yet is also written, very entertainingly, from the perspective of one of the most accomplished advantage players of all time. The last legitimate copy sold for $3000 on ebay. The buyer was no fool.

I obtained my copy directly from the author on a reference from another famous gambling author who I won't name here but you can PM me for details. This book is extremely rare by design. I suspect the authors intention for publishing it was primarily as a way to put his lifes work on record as very few were sold. I also would like to avoid unknowingly selling to casino personnel. It was an explicit condition upon my purchase that I was not in any way affiliated with a casino and the only reason I got the book was the author/AP I know vouching for me.

Even though some of the material dates to 2000 it has aged like wine. These are insights and methods of thinking that are deadly in the hands of a sharp, seasoned player. This is a book you read through 20 times as you put in pit time and gain experience. But there is no doubt a serious student of this material who masters it will be a serious threat to any casino in which they step foot. If you are primarily a poker player and are maybe interested in diversifying your hustle, forget poker books. All of the situations Mr. Grosjean sheds light on are completely game theoretic solvable, and he has solved them all. This is hard science, there's no guessing. The conclusions are undebatable. And your guide throughout is probably the most supremely qualified and experienced man ever to cover the topic. James Grosjean is a man who lives engulfed in dedication to his craft and whose approach is nothing short of surgical.

One copy sold as recently as last September but again, this is an extremely rare book with very few having ever been sold to the public. It isn't guaranteed that another will come up for sale soon, or ever. It is a real opportunity for the right player who often finds themselves in casinos or for an aspiring player who wants to take the fastest road to expertise. This book is a money maker, the purchase price is peanuts compared with long term EV for the dedicated reader.

I've read shelves of gambling books and I can say that the vast majority of the information if not all of it contained in the book hasn't even been covered in the literature. This book truly has no substitute.

*I have not read the cliffs notes but I have read reviews. Unless the author of the notes was engaging in blatant plagiarism, serious players will want the book. The core of this work is the countless tables which enumerate optimal strategies for a trove of valuable situations. If your only interest is One Card Poker 101, the notes may be a better option. But if you're reading this I probably don't have to sell it, this type of thing sells itself.

About Me: Fairly long time twoplustwoer, online casino hustler before that, down for real. Gambling is what I do, I'll be here tomorrow, next year and beyond. Search my post history.

Here's a link to the twoplustwo marketplace. I'm just including this because its mod approved only. I am a first time ebay user and would personally be nervous about making a purchase like this, my twoplustwo history and mod approval should establish at least some legitimacy.
