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. Here, rather than formal teaching, Hellmuth shares some of his most memorable hands–some that won him a ton, some that lost him more, and some that were just plain uncanny. Jumping from tournament to tournament, Hellmuth lays out his own world tour of poker. There’s plenty to learn from his war stories. REVWRCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
