Essential Poker (Hardcover)

"Essential Poker" is a long overdue compilation of the brightest, daftest, most memorable and, above all, most entertaining comments ever made about the remarkably popular, and enduring game of Poker. In its 150 or so years of existence, Poker has fascinated some of the world's great thinkers, great gamblers and great personalities, many of whom have found something pithy, funny, helpful, original and quotable to say about this deceptively simple yet perennially absorbing game whose raison d'etre is man's obsession with beating the odds, the fates and the opponent opposite at the card table. These bons mots about poker will not make you a better player, nor a better person. But they may make you a better bettor, and will certainly provide you with a veritable royal flush of poker pleasure. Nothing can match the thrill, drama and sheer joie de vivre of playing poker - but this book captures the essence and spirit of the world's greatest gambling game and lays it out for all to see - just like the greatest winning hand you ever drew. And that's not bluffing.
