He was feeling lucky, so he decided to play poker and gamble with his friends.
Now he was stuck in this invisible force that he wouldn't stop playing poker, which he was quite adept at.
Slowly but steadily, he is desensitised to losing what he really cared although he was winning tons of money instead and steps in a new world where gambling and only gambling was what he could think of.
It was an okay book. I didn't really feel anything after reading it but it gave me some knowledge about the unseen unravelled darkness of gambling.
