Free poker books came to me that I never ordered???

Today, in the mail, I got a box with Doyle Brunson listed as the return address. Inside the box are nicely bound hard cover copies of supersystem 1 and 2.

I never ordered these and no poker site I play at informed me that I won these. I play at Doyle's Room sometimes...but, they never sent me an email or anything saying I won a free prize.

I hope they dont think I suck so bad they just think I should start reading


Has anyone else gotten these free books? Is this common?


ps. there was no note or invoice inside the box.

That's funny!!

Doyle feels sorry for ya!

There are multiple ways you could have won these, being the first to reach $100 in rake for the month is possible...

Why question it? If your not interested in them feel free to send me the second one. Ive read the first one. Its good stuff. So use them wisely id your really interested in poker.

Books

Maybe they were a gift from a secret admirer!

Too funny. You send them cash, they send you a book. Might just be me, but they could be telling you something.

I'll send you the softcover versions and ship you $50 on FullTilt if you want to help me upgrade to the hardcovers...

PM me if interested.

wrong address

I received a letter today and it said That they sent my books to You please p.m me so I can give You my address.Thank You, sorry for the mix up

Congrats! Two great books, read them and thank the poker gods you got two free books!

Hmm...ok, i suppose these gifts are rake related. They are autographed too. Very nice actually...

What do you think are the odds that poker stars might send me Vanessa Rousso?

I heard she costs quite a bit FPPs. I'd start saving up.

Wow, I'd just appreciate the 2 free books, read through them & go on from there! Very lucky...consider it an early Christmas gift! But, if you don't want them, I'll be glad to take them off your hands!

i'll trade. i'll send you 'sed and awk' and 'the unix programming environment' (which is a classic! seriously its from the early-mid 80s and still relevant) for em.

Wow... strange

I've heard of the books but just for them to arrive at your doorstep... Wow thats out of the ordinary.... Did you knock out a pro on Full Tilt or something...

Full Tilt doesn't even carry these booksn (probably something to do with competition ). But the books they do carry cost 5000 - 10,000 FTPs each. The Harrington books are 9-10k, so figure Super System to be similar. That's a LOT of rake.

But hard-cover and autographed, wow. Guessing it had to come from Doyle himself. I doubt you can order something like that from just anywhere. Funny, Doyle's Room doesn't even have a 'store' like Tilt & Stars. So the really weird thing here is not even a note. Ya know, to say thank you and ensure future loyalty (and rake), word of mouth, etc. You'd think they'd want to be damn sure you knew this was a gift from them - and a very nice one at that. Just what have you been spending over there anyway?

WOW makes me wonder now what you really did do for a klondike bar!!!

lol. maybe this is your sign to become a poker pro

Get on the blower and ask for Doyle and thank him!!!

Don't be an ingrate, and solve the mystery. Maybe he'll invite you over for a game...

and that'd be a good thing????

Ya, Doyle Brunson moves more currency in an hour of poker than I make in a year at my job. Basically, if someone puts a live straddle on, I am de facto all in.

I don't play high stakes. I play mostly 100NL and 200NL. I've never had more than $700 in my account, and never deposited more than $100 at a time. My rakeback for Doyle's Room last month was about $25-$30 per week.

And, yes....no note. I asked all of my freinds and none of them are responsible.

It is odd that there just isnt any note or explanation given in the box.
