Selling my copy of Beyond Counting Exhibit CAA

[judgeholdem1848]

I want every advantage my little mind can acquire over the devil casinos. On my measly singular trip to vegas I saw SO many holes in the games they offer at various casinos that a poor trash person like me would be content simply making what I made in 4 days...$660. Just a decent Zen count and short sessions. I really can live with that. If there are ANY AP's on this site that can help me achieve my meager goal, please let me know and show me how.

ZenMasterFlash's assessment seems to be of the "what is the book worth to me" variety. His numbers are not reflective at all of recent selling prices, to say the least. Be if far from me to even try to argue with a veteran, accomplished AP. I will say that I have read enough on the topic to qualify as at least a well seasoned hobbyist. It may just be reflective of my own lack of experience when I say this but I am not exaggerating when I say that every page I read for me contained new revelations, some epiphanous. Maybe ZenMaster intends on spoon feeding all who step to his trough of knowledge, although its hard to see how that would benefit him. The thing that I can say with utter certainty, having been a professional gambler in one form or another now for a decade is this, and the biggest mistakes I've ever made have taken this shape: Say you have two ways of executing a play, one expensive and one cheap, and by expensive I don't just mean money. Where the expensive one is guaranteed and the cheap one is not, the expensive one is very likely to be optimal so long as the cost is reasonable relative to the projected EV gained. What this boils down to fundamentally is that we tend to be very bad at accurately taking into account known unknowns and indeed abysmal at handling unknown unknowns.

I could give almost endless examples of this from my own experience, just one being my stubborn refusal to move to a foreign country to chase bonus whoring opportunities, which likely cost me millions. Anyway, as worthless as the info may be to inveterate end bosses to me it was all new and if you are asking whats in the book, it will probably be all new to you. Can you find all the information you need for free? Maybe. Will it take you 4 years to acquire the bulk of the knowledge you could get in one reading? I don't know but similar things have happened to me, for example I wish I would have found a world class NL holdem coach when I took up that game, it would have saved me a world of pain and financial loss, but I didn't want to because it would have cost me thousands.

Anyway as I said I will entertain any reasonable offer. Also I imagine there will be a floor on the price dropping due to the rarity of original copies. What that floor is I have no idea but I imagine its considerably north of $20, theres some chance it could appreciate as well. Rare books of substance and import do not often become so much toilet paper.
