Ed,

Thanks for these little tutorials. I love ‘em. And they help with the drooling over the arrival of your new book, now that it’s this close it’s actually more painful than ever. I’m rereading NLTP for 3rd time right now.

In anticipation of the “BOOK” I’ve also made a little booster-shelf so it can be at the dinner table with us, a small prop-up so it can watch tv with us, and a small car pillow so it can sleep with us. My wife thinks I’m out of control, but then again, she is not a poker player. =)

There is a part that i’m not sure got right: “..intending to induce a raise so you can make a bluff reraise”
so i’m not sure about our intentions here:
we want to bluff-reraise and get caught or we just want to steal pots in some fancy way? (it’s fancy, coz probably a larger bet would have simply made the other guy fold)
