I have been asked numerous times throughout the years for coaching and to make videos for strategy sites and I always said no. When I was approached by my now publishers about doing a book it was something where I felt like I could help others without having to expose too much of myself. I remember reading poker books when I first started and it feels good in a way to be able to give something back and try to help people that want to take their game to the next level.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Did you brainstorm a wide range of book ideas?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>When my publishers first suggested completely writing my own strategy book it felt a bit daunting. Also it has been done before &#8211; basic poker strategy &#8211; so I was only interested if it was going to be something different. I had simultaneously been doing a promo for my new website where I offered to review hands of players and it went over really well. My publisher\u2019s saw that and suggested that angle for the book. It was a perfect fit.<\/p>\n<h3><b>What do you want to achieve with the book?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Once it is all completed I want to know I have put everything I have into it and be comfortable knowing that people will buy this book and it really will be able to help them.<\/p>\n<h3><b>What is the unique selling point of the book?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>I have never really provided any poker strategy publicly before. Secondly this book is totally different from anything else out there. You get to actually see hands that a mid-stakes player has played and watch me hyper-analyze them and allow the reader to think about hands in ways they probably never have before.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Is there any chance of a Gus Hansen style follow up based on your LAPC success?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Even prior to winning LAPC we were already discussing possibilities of a second book where I would be discussing my own hands. I think for now we will see how the first book does and go from there. If there is a demand for it, I will write it.<\/p>\n<p>Coming up in Part 2 tomorrow Chris talks about book titles, managing his writing schedule whilst playing poker, favorite poker books and more.
