Poker does not stop at the table January 11, 2004

This book has shown me that poker is beyond the table, beyond the cards, beyond the chips. It is a part of my life and everything I do in it. Doyle combines his life experience with art of poker, because both meet at a point and defines what kind of player you are.
 One of the very best tells some stories April 3, 2000
19 out of 21 found this review helpful
This book unlike his other work, SuperSystem a Course in Power Poker, is not going to do much or your poker game. It is a group of articles he wrote for an out of print gambling magazine. They are recollections of playing on the underground trail of big-poker games in the 50's through the 70's and then playing for vast sums of money in Vegas. Some of the stories are quite good but not all are exactly gripping. If you didn't already know many of the points these stories make, e.g. pay attention to your opponents, know yourself, no limit is a different kettle of fish than limit poker, etc. then you might want to reconsider playing for anything more than nickels. This book is pretty much for hardcore poker fans only.
