Just received my copy of the book. It is pretty huge.

I'm curious if anyone has any advice on how I should tackle it. Should I read straight through cover to cover? Are there certain chapters I should focus on? Should I take notes? etc.

Cover to cover (literally; pun only half-intended), and it'll require a few thorough readings. A very sharp poster on another site posted about his inability to find the answer to a seemingly simple question, and the author indicated the the answer was somewhere in the book. It took me over a year to find that particular answer, but I can assure you that it's in there!

Read it ALL, and I mean even the parts that usually no one would read. Take your time.

I just read the chapter that states "the dealer beats the table 83.5% of the time he has a 2 showing." What I don't understand is why we're not supposed to surrender against this hand. Or does that give the table "bad karma"?

Something is very wrong with this statement. Even if the dealer has a deuce up and a NINE as his HOLE card, he STILL won't win 83% of the time! Perhaps this was a misprint, or perhaps you've taken something out of context.

No I understand why the price is so high and the buyers so restricted!
