It has been brought to my attention that Gambler's Book Club is
still
selling the first edition of my book, Video Poker - Optimum Play.
They have the second edition in stock, but you have to
specifically
ask for it, or you'll get the first edition.

Does the second edition of the book differ markedly from the first?
In other words, is the information updated to reflect the
drastically increased difficulty of making significant $$$ in
the "new" VP milieu? Specifically, that what you did in the late
90's (the subject of the book) is no longer possible?
Like "The Frugal Gambler" and "Beat The Dealer", your book makes for
an interesting read but now has more historical interest than
practical value. It would be interesting if you wrote a book on how
to "survive" VP (how to gamble at VP at little or no cost in order
to enhance a Vegas vacation), but that has never been your
perspective or goal. Such a book, however, would be of more interest
to this group than the story of "how I abandoned all scruples and
subordinated my personal life to the pursuit of big bucks at VP".
Since you appear to have "switched sides", as it were (since the
realtionship between skilled players and casinos will always be an
adversarial one), one wonders whether the continued publication of
your exploits will do more harm than good, in that it may encourage
the uninformed to try something (move to Vegas and rape and pillage
the VP machines and make big bucks) that cannot in fact be done any
longer.
