 Posted: Wed Apr 11, 2007 11:56 am Post subject: The Poker Mindset - Errors and Typos |
 |
|
In the coming week, anyone who has preordered a copy of TPM should start to receive them. Despite countless proofreading, we have noticed that a few errors have slipped through into the printed version. None are serious, just a few typos and formatting errors, that kind of thing.
If you find any while reading, please post them in this thread so we can correct them for the second print run. I will edit the post below to keep track of all the errors found so far, so you can easily check if yours has already been noted.
Thanks in advance

Page 14 - Missing line break before the quotation.
Page 26 - Strange mark before the word 'you' in the last paragraph.
Page 32 - Unwanted double negative in last paragraph.
Page 63 - If you average player at poker should read If you are an average poker player. (Spotted by RichieUK)
Page 100 - Incorrect suit symbols in the action point (spades instead of hearts)

Hi Pie,
Great book - I haven't finished yet but I'm really enjoying it. Well done to you and to Matthew. 
On Page 63 - second paragraph, second line - reads "If you average player at poker, then you are losing money." It should, I believe, read "If you are an average player at poker, then you are losing money." |

Page 147 - "Subconsciously, you will consider them better than you, until you get used to the new limit and believe you belong."
It looks like the sentence isn't finished, shouldn't it be ".... and believe you belong there." |

Hmmm, not sure about that one, I think the sentance works without any further words. The subject of the clause is implied earlier in the sentance. |

Well, English is not my native language so you could be right. It just looked wrong to me. |
