Two Plus Two Publishing is a private company established and owned by statistician and poker player Mason Malmuth.[1] The company publishes books on poker and gambling written by professionals in the field such as David Sklansky, Dan Harrington, Bill Robertie, Collin Moshman, Ed Miller, Ray Zee, Sunny Mehta, Alan Schoonmaker, William Jockusch, and Malmuth himself.
Two Plus Two Publishing has sold over two million books and currently has more than 39 titles to its credit.[2] According to Malmuth, the name was adopted from the cover design of his book Gambling Theory and Other Topics where the equation 2+2=4 was illustrated with card pictures. In addition, many of its titles are now being translated into many non-English languages.
The Two Plus Two website operates a popular Internet forum for discussions on mostly poker and gambling-related topics, where it also publishes the Two Plus Two monthly electronic magazine (which includes gambling articles by Two Plus Two authors and others, such as Nick Christenson and King Yao) and the weekly Two Plus Two Pokercast.

Pokercast[edit]
The Two Plus Two Pokercast is a weekly podcast that reports on both live poker and online poker. The show is hosted by Mike Johnson and poker pro Adam Schwartz, with regular contributions from a number of other poker strategists and players. Typically recorded on Tuesday nights in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the show is released on Wednesday mornings via the iTunes Store and the Two Plus Two website. The show is sponsored by the Pokerstars VIP Club.
Omaha poker best starting hands. Counterfeit protection means that if an ace, deuce or trey hits the board you still have the two best low cards to put with it. As an example, if the final board was K-2-5-Q-4, your deuce would have been counterfeited but you would still have the nut low (using one of your aces and the trey) as well as a straight. We’ll also examine some good Omaha/8 starting hands along with hands that are playable but where some degree of caution should be exercised. Unfortunately, one cannot expect to be dealt a powerhouse hand on every deal. Powerhouse Omaha/8 Starting HandsThis is my favourite starting hand in Omaha/8 since it gives top pair, two nut flush draws and a great draw to the nut low including counterfeit protection.
Prior to Two Plus Two[edit]
The hosts of the Two Plus Two Pokercast were the founders of “Rounders – The Poker Show” which launched in April 2005 on terrestrial radio station The Team 1040 (Vancouver) airing weekly on Sunday nights and archived on BigPoker.ca. Rounders ran for 134 episodes before Mike Johnson and Adam Schwartz co-created the Two Plus Two Pokercast in January 2008.[4]
Strategy segments[edit]
Interspersed between segments of the show and advertisements are short strategy segments from top poker pros. Originally, the presenters of these segments were Two Plus Two authors and posters, however as of January 2009 LeggoPoker.com became the official strategy sponsor of the show, and now provides weekly strategy segments by their stable of video producers.
Sklansky minutes[edit]
Aside from strategy segments are “Sklansky Minutes” recorded by Two Plus Two author David Sklansky. Subjects include poker and other games, general gambling theory and musings on life. A collection of similar musings and 'life strategy' was published in January 2010 under the title 'DUCY?' – Two Plus Two shorthand for 'Do You See Why?'.
Evidence in lawsuit[edit]
Shortly after winning the 2006 World Series of Poker main event, Jamie Gold appeared on Episode #65 of Rounders, during the interview Gold discussed his backing arrangement with Crispin Leyser. In the following months, during litigation between Leyser and Gold over Gold’s Prize, audio of Gold’s interview on “Rounders – The Poker Show” was admitted as evidence in the case[5][6]

Opening comment[edit]
I'm not sure whether a (partial) list of books published by Two Plus Two deserves to be listed in the article, but I had it handy, so I dumped it in. Also, I'm 90% sure that Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players was NOT their first book, so I removed that sentence. From the copyright dates and ISBN numbers, I would guess that The Theory of Poker (Sklanksy/Malmuth) was the first book published by Two Plus Two.--Toms2866 17:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
My understanding is that Two Plus Two was founded by, and owned by, Mason Malmuth. Can anyone find a reference for this?--Toms2866 13:06, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Two Plus Two Publishing was officially formed in December, 1989 when David Sklansky and myself decided to unite all our books. The first book I self published was Winning Concepts in Draw and Lowball in 1987 so in a sense that can be considered the first Two Plus Two book. When Two Plus Two Publishing was formed, and it was briefly called Malmuth Publishing, Mason Malmuth had three books, David Sklansky had four (including Winning Poker which was later retitled as The Theory of Poker), and Hold 'em Poker for Advanced Players and Seven-Card Stud for Advanced Players already existed and had been self published by Mason Malmuth. So the company began with nine books. -- Mason Malmuth
'Hold 'em Poker for Advanced Players' (HEPFAP) was not Two Plus Two's first book. The first book Mason Malmuth published was 'Winning Concepts in Draw and Lowball'. It was self-published so whether it counts as a 2+2 book or not may be debatable. 'Gambling Theory and Other Topics' was published one year before HEPFAP.
Texas holdem poker online, freeroll. Every site, and every freeroll, is unique. At the end of the day, freerolls are just like anything else: practice, and you’ll get better at pulling down the prize money.
