Good and Bad Poker Advice From Pros: Deeb, O’Kearney And Lappin The English romantic poet and philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge once said: “Advice is like snow – the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind.” Poker players are a strong-minded, strong-willed bunch who perhaps need advice to be delivered in the right way.

One afternoon, I was playing on CoinPoker, and made a comment about my opponent's range. "legendary_spree" asked:"What's a range? People play the cards they're dealt. Who started this range talk?"  I'm so glad you asked. To get a good perspective on this, I needed somebody old and geeky. Fortunately, we have just the person on staff – Lee Jones. So I threw the question over to Lee. He replied with this... So what is range? Hi Tiffany, thanks for asking.

It would be cool to see more of that. Unfortunately, one of the biggest incentives are clicks, and I’d guess the more bad boy-esque stories attract more clicks.

This was the only one I couldn't solve: Maria Konnikova posted an enigmatic message to X. Speaking in Russian, she said “I have a book in my hands and my hands in a book 236 3 12, and it will be 60 then. What is 245 23 13?” Early on, I landed on book-code and called up my friend Barry Carter to grab his copy of ‘The Biggest Bluff’ off the shelf. Unfortunately, like me, he had read it on Kindle so there were no pages as such.
