In 1988, best-selling biographer Anthony Holden spent one year
living the life of a professional poker player. His mesmerizing
account of that year went on to become a classic of the genre, an
inspiration to innumerable poker players and poker memoirists who
followed. "Big Deal" is his story of days and nights in Las Vegas,
Malta, and Morocco, mingling with the greats, sharpening his game,
perfecting his repartee, and learning a great deal about himself in
the process. Poker, Holden would insist, is a paradigm of life at
its most intense, a gladiatorial contest that brings out the best
as well as the worst in people. The heroes and eccentrics of the
poker world stalk the pages of this remarkable book, along with all
the hairraising, nail-biting excitement of the game itself.
