Poker Nation: A High-Stakes, Low-Life Adventure into the Heart of a Gambling Country
Andy Bellin
“Poker Nation
is a travelogue to the quirky world of competitive poker, an
exploration of poker obsession and addiction (not necessarily the same
thing) and a primer on mathematics, poker lingo and technique.
Entertaining and accessible.” —USA Today
Journalist
and poker fanatic Andy Bellin takes readers on a raucous journey into
the shut-up-and-deal world of professional poker. From basement games to
the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, you'll look over his shoulder
as he learns to count cards, read a legendary player's body language,
hang in there when the chips are down, and take his beatings like a man.
Even if you don't know the difference between a flop and a river card,
Bellin keeps you in the game with his portraits of the colorful players,
dreamers, hustlers, and eccentrics who populate this strange
subculture. Along with learning what goes on behind the scenes in
illegal poker clubs, you'll get great advice on how to play Texas
Hold'em, today's game of choice for big-money players.
