Cheating, shooting angles, hustling -- whatever you want to call it, its what poker is really all about, and in the tradition of Mario Puzos Fools Die, thats what is at the heart of the drama of this riveting first novel told by a nontraditional 1990s kid with an incurable obsession, an outrageous wardrobe, and a knack for staying in action.He smokes a lot of pot, hides behind mirrored sunglasses, and practices yoga. But appearances are deceiving -- he may look like a live one, but he has not gone broke. He has made his way from teenage games in the basements of New Jersey suburbs, to professional games across America and Europe. Perhaps this is because he understands something most people just dont get: Poker is a combination of luck and skill. People think mastering the skill is hard, but theyre wrong. The trick to poker is mastering the luck. Thats philosophy. Understanding luck is philosophy, and there are some people who arent ever gonna fade it. Thats what sets poker apart. And that is what keeps everyone coming back forAbout the AuthorJesse May has written for Poker Digest and High Stakes Magazine, and is the author of the novel Shut Up and Deal. He is the voice and play-by-play commentator on the British television series Late Night Poker. Originally from New Jersey, he now lives in Copenhagen, Denmark, but can usually be found wherever the best game is.
