In the course of a thread about how to improve CC the idea of having a study group/.thread built around a poker book with involvement from the author came up.
Drag the Bar has done a lot with CC in the past and Dakota has said that if we can get enough people to commit to it she could almost certainly get Owen to participate in a study group based around one of his books. We would need at least 6 or 7 people but of course more is better.
What would be expected from us would be to of course agree on a book and then I think we could probably cover a chapter a week. Read the chapter and discuss in detail.
I would be willing to post some sort of chapter summary or outline on a weekly basis but please understand that this is no substitute for reading the material.
If you are interested in doing this and willing to put in the effort please post in this thread or PM me or one of the mods. Please indicate which book you would like to cover.
As soon as we have enough people committed and a book selected I will follow up with Dakota so she can set things up with Owen.
FWIW my choice of book would be "Hole Card Confessions" but "Poker Perspectives" or "Poker Math that Matters" would be great also and I will happily join in with what is agreed upon.
MODs: I don't do a lot of this stuff so please move or edit as you see fit.
