This is a statement to give context to the books listed for sale here, which I wrote in 2010 (Advanced PLO Theory, $2500) and 2016 (Live Full Ring PLO ($300) and PLO MTTs ($100)).  We are now in a solver era, with products available that do advanced node-by-node, range-v-range calculations that weren’t options in 2010. 

​

I believe APT was a high-quality product when written and that the price was fair for what it offered at that time.  I have been told by several people who have the book that it has held up well in the solver era, and I agree.  Conceptually and structurally APT is on firm ground as an advanced presentation of PLO strategy.  That said, solvers have caused an evolution of the game and a revolution in study methods.  There are things APT does in many pages that are a footnote to a solver.

 

I haven’t sold a copy of APT in some time.  I have no interest in lowering the price – I promised the original buyers I never would.   I’ve left the website up because of a combination of laziness, a trickling in of sales of the more recent, cheaper books, and a desire to leave an easy way for former buyers to contact me.  I intend to take it down sometime in the next few months. 

 

Until then, I hope any visitors get something out of the free content, and I’ll add that LFRP and PLO MTTs survive the solver crucible a bit better than APT.   I’m willing to sell copies of all three still, I just have never been much for marketing.  APT’s place in the solver era is what it is – if you read the preview material and want to buy, let me know.
