Book Description

January 1999
Serious poker players are often asked, "What’s it really like...the world of poker? The answer is not easy because poker is an amazingly complex game. As complex as life itself.

This book will attempt to answer that question. You will be taken to a serious game and be sitting besides the author. That is, you will be a spectator to the unfolding drama of poker. You will get to meet the players up close and personal, witness their strong and weak points, and watch their varied reactions in victory and defeat.

Not only will you "play," but you will have to address those problems that all poker players deal with. This includes bankroll management, developing self control, and understanding what it is that makes a poker player truly great. Your opponents will range from some of the best players in Las Vegas to a brilliant Japanese Admiral as he planned his attack on Pearl harbor.

1.0 out of 5 stars Even makes a lousy paperweight, July 29, 2006
By 
Mr. C (Lexington, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: PokerFarce and PokerTruth (Paperback)
Nothing to learn here, and not particularly entertaining. The writing is excruciating. If you want a "what's it like" book, get The Biggest Game in Town or Big Deal. If you want to learn to play, start with The Theory of Poker, Super/System, or the Harrington Holdem books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Vanity Press, October 17, 2010
This review is from: PokerFarce and PokerTruth (Paperback)
Don't let the fact that it was put out by a stellar publisher sway you. It is of vanity press quality. Boring, disorganized rambling from an old man. Uninteresting stories and nothing that will help your poker game. At least that's what the first third was like. Nothing made me think it would get better.
