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=5 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. Posts on the forums helped uncover the Absolute Poker cheating scandal that was later featured on 60 Minutes in 2008.[3]
