Dark Matter eLiquid

Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.

Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Summary: "Better than expected"

I was pleasantly surprised by the book. I found the advice on playing the turn especially helpful.

A bone to pick. He advocates not raising pre-flop in low limit zoo games, saying you don't want to raise people out of the pot because you can make more money if they stay in. He gives a mathematical example of this. But then he goes and says it's not worthwhile raising because people won't fold anyway. Well, which is it? Is raising bad because people are folding, or because they won't fold?

Just from the standpoint of common sense, if you rate to have a better hand than anyone else, and much better than most, it seems raising must be good. How could it not be? Steve Badger argues for this on-line, and his reasoning makes sense to me.

Apart from that, I didn't see any advice that look bad, and, as I mentioned, the turn advice I found especially helpful.

The main part of the book deals with starting hands, which is very important in O8. The charts are very useful. For example, I found I was over-valuing hands like 2345 or JQKA while under-valuing hands like AA4x, 23KK, or KKJJ.

I agree completely with another reviewer which suggested you can study the charts to come up with your theories as to what works.

Summary: "Just the Facts MAM"

Bill Boston has done the Omaha/8 player a great favor by systematically and exhaustively tabulating the results of playing each possible starting hand.

Another reviewer downgraded his rating because Boston's discussion could be more complete. My take is just the opposite - the extensive tables in this small volume are most valuable when the user studies them to arrive at his own understanding of what works and what doesn't in Omaha/8. For example, Boston shows that any hand with a 7, 8, or 9 is a loser over time. His tables also show that all hands with X as the second low card are also losers over time. I'll leave it to the serious player to study the tables Boston provides to determine the rank of X.

And there's more, but you'll have to dig into this treasure trove of research data to find it.

Could I pan the book because of how the data was collected? Sure. The author made certain assumptions about the types of opponents and my opponents play somewhat differently. He didn't consider suitedness in some situations where I'd like to know more (i.e. AdKd4h2h).

If you are looking for a source that gives you an exhaustive list of conclusions this book is probably not for you. But if you're looking for the raw research results that you can study to draw your own conclusions without doing the tedious work required to generate it I highly recommend this one.

Summary: "Interesting, but...."

Mr. Boston has clearly spent a lot of time and effort generating the massive tables that comprise most of this book, and for a serious player that's worth the cost. What he actually says in terms of advice, however, is sketchy and sparse. He generally goes by the conservative wait-for-good-hands philosophy.

Mostly, he has exhaustively run all possible hands thru many simulations and ranked them. This is interesting enough, but I have some quibbles with his classifications. Take a hand like AK32. He calls it suited if the ace is suited, double-suited if the King and Ace are both suited, and unsuited otherwise. I presume he calls it just "suited" if all four are the same suit, but he doesn't say. Also, I claim it adds small but significant value to the hand if the King only is suited, but he doesn't seem to think so.

If he separated all the possibilities the book would be impossibly large... but the many possibilities are what attract us (the players) to the game, nicht wahr?
