Some People
I like writing comdey/fiction type stories and I have been hopping on pocket fives and writing a few things. They are mostly poker related short story-type posts, sometimes people like them, sometimes not, but today I think I realized my audience may not be up for the humor.
Here is my post:
Re: Why doesn't one of the internet studs write a book?
I just finished my book and it is in the process of being finalized by Random House Publishing. It is scheduled to hit shelves on Dec 13th, just in time to make a great stocking stuffer.
It's called, "The Easy Way to Winning Thousands Playing Poker" - It chronicles my rise to the top of the internet world and includes some of the secrets to my success. I start off playing .50/$1 LHE on Party Poker and you get to see my bankroll swell through the chapters as I reveal the secrets that make the intermediate players into champions. There's a couple reviews from well respected pros that will grace the sleeve:
"I HIGHLY recommend reading this book for players of ALL levels, There are secrets in here that most pros would pay NOT to have published" - Harley Hall
"At first I didn't believe that eating a whole bag of Funions before a LHE session was THE ONE KEY to success, but after giving it a shot and winning the next 17 sessions I am a firm believer" - Stu Unger
"This book introduced me to so many new terms; "Call-Equity", "Foldability", "Ship Theory".... It's full of little gems that improve your game and alow your bankroll to EXPLODE!" - Phil Ivey
"The Tells section of this book introduced me to ideas that are LEVELS ABOVE the greatest players in the world. To call this book a Masterpiece would be doing it a disservice. If Game Theory is a blank slate the Joey_Pistone is the illegitimate love child of Picasso and God." -Poker Legend - Maureen Feduniak
"If you want to win at poker, read books... If you want to annihilate every opponent you ever play, read THIS BOOK. Most of the pros will tell you to fold a flush draw if the odds aren't there... This book goes beyond odds and into the world of Expected Future Table Image, allowing you to NEVER FOLD A DRAW AGAIN, and most importantly ALWAYS hit it." - Todd Brunson
"I thought this book was a joke and challenged the author to a heads-up match so I could expose him for the phony he is.... After only 3 hours he had completely broken not only my spirit, but also my bank account. I'll never underestimate Joey_Pistone again" - Andy Beal

your a joke.
I don't know if you're looking for pity, but you failed to include all of the replies that recognized your post as hilarious.
That said, you can now add the following quote, which is 100% factual, to the back cover of your masterpiece:
"I had been a losing player at 2/4 LHE until I saw Joey's book. Then I glanced momentarily at its Table of Contents page. In the two weeks since, I have moved from 2/4 to 100/200, where I am now struggling to find a challenge. I am embarrassed about the amount of money I am now making at a game that I scarcely understood after nearly a decade of continuous play prior to finding Joey's book.
Also, and perhaps more importantly, I can't set foot in public without being swarmed by gorgeous women. I'm not saying that Joey's book was the catalyst of my romantic success, but I will say this: Prior to picking up Joey's book, I couldn't get action in a monkey whorehouse with a sack full of bananas; now I get laid more than eggs and brick, combined. And I am very, very, painfully, ugly."
- Random (ex-)2/4 Fish.
Haha, Richard, you are better at this sort of thing than Dave is. Thanks for the laughs both of you.
That post is one of the funniest things I've ever read on the internet.
