Reviews

[Shannon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Depending on whether you're a poker fan or not will depend on how much you'll enjoy this book or not. It's very simply anecdotes about poker and the people that play the game. Doyle Brunson is a poker legend and, from all I've read/seen, a gentleman. He'd be someone I would really like to know. Even if you're not in to poker, it's some pretty good stories about poker related things that have happened to Brunson in his life.

This a good coffee table or magazine rack book for poker fans. Doyle delivers amusing anecdotes and stories from his life as a professional poker player.
