Poker players are always told that to be successful, you have to
play aggressively. What is not usually explained is just exactly
how you are supposed to play aggressively. On the Final Table of
the 2016 WSOP Main Event, Qui Nguyen destroyed the opposition with
an absolute masterclass in aggressive play and walked away with the
coveted gold bracelet as well as $8 million. If you want to
understand what this mythical "playing aggressively" means in
practical terms, then From Vietnam to Vegas will give you the
answer. ----- Many of the experienced professionals commentating
for TV simply couldn't understand Qui's play. Antonio Esfandiari,
who has won over $27 million in live play, commented, "I couldn't
get a read on Qui Nguyen if my life depended on it." ----- From
Vietnam to Vegas tells the complete story behind Qui's magnificent
achievement. In this book Qui: --- * reviews 176 key hands from his
historic victory at the WSOP Final Table --- * provides an in-depth
analysis of his thought process on each hand --- * relates the
story of his life, from his early struggles in Vietnam through to
his transition to a poker professional in Las Vegas. ----- The book
also includes commentary from Steve Blay, founder of
AdvancedPokerTraining.com and Qui Nguyen's personal poker advisor
at the final table. Blay's commentary often analyzes the
mathematical basis behind Qui's decisions, and discusses practical
ways to apply it to your own poker game.

The writer has a desire to see that the clemency and fairness of
God is protected through reasonable explanation instead of imposing
uncompromising positions based on certain events seen in the Bible.
With this book, the writer hopes to assist the next generation in
escaping the dilemma of philosophical dissension between one
believing implicitly in the Bible while another trusts only in
science. Hopefully, this theory will silence the intransigent
arguments between people who fiercely cling to opposite doctrines
heard in emotionally-charged rhetoric.
