Bad Beats and Lucky Draws: Poker Strategies, Winning Hands, and Stories from the Professional Poker Tour

From Booklist

One of the most well known of the current crop of professional poker players, Hellmuth is the type you love to hate–he’s a sore loser and a boastful winner, but he’s fun to watch. Plus, he wins a lot. His first book, Play Poker like the Pros (2003), appeared as the recent poker craze was gaining momentum and has become a modern bible of the game.

Phil Gordon made dot.com millions and is now living the good life in the poker world and on television. Perry Friedman won a World Series of Poker event a couple years ago. While Dave “Diceboy” Lambert is, according to the other Tiltboys, the luckiest human being on the planet. It?s “Swingers”-meets-”Rounders.” Read these true tales of gambling, friendship, and Wednesday night poker. These anecdotes are a testament to just how amusing a life devoted to excess and debauchery can be.
