A Note on the English

Neither one of us claim to be professional writers.
We are professional poker players. Furthermore, the ideas and concepts
presented in this book originally came from tape recorded
conversations between the authors. These tape recordings were
not necessarily formatted exactly the same way a book would be
and the language was not always grammatically perfect. This is
occasionally reflected in the wording of this text.
But the purpose of this book is not to get an "A7' from our
English teacher. Rather it is to show you how to make a lot of
money in all but the toughest hold 'em games. So if we end a
sentence with a preposition or use a few too many words or even
introduce a new subject in a slightly inappropriate place, you can
take solace from the fact that you can buy lots more books by
Hemingway with the money we make you.
