The poker world is divided between those who believe the game to be the most skilled contest ever devised, and those who believe that success in the game relies on pure luck. 257 pages, paperbound, 2007.

PLAY POKER LIKE A PIGEON (AND TAKE THE MONEY HOME)
by Anonymous
Price ... $14.95

Here's an author who doesn't want his opponents to know how he's been beating them for the last 40 years. He's written a book to tell you that you don't have to master complex systems, memorize charts, or decipher your opponents’ tells. The secret, he says, is to keep other players from understanding just how well you play. . In clear, crisp, engaging chapters—focusing on hold'em but applicable to all form of poker—he illustrates how you can:

  • Convince opponents that you’re a dunce
  • Make the right “wrong” moves at every stage of the game—before and after the flop, on the turn, and on the river
  • Develop the perfect pigeon attitude
  • Play bad hands well
  • Build a monster pot (before they know what hit them)
  • Hide how much you’ve really won
    In addition to essential strategy, you’ll pick up fascinating anecdotes and stories from the four decades that this pro in disguise has spent in the world of poker—cheats he has known, games that ended in shotgun robberies, and what it felt like to reach the final table at the World Series of Poker (and why he didn’t win). When you’re ready to start winning—over and over again—take a seat and let the master show you how! The author has played in six World Series of Pokers as well as with such famous players as Stuey Ungar, Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, and Bill Smith, March 2007

    PLAY DEAD
    by Michael A. Arnzen
    Price ... $27.95

    This is a novel with a poker and Vegas theme ... a combination horror/mystery novel. Here's the description from the dust jacket. Johnny had been to the top. Young and slick, he knew how to play the high roller, dress the part, and make his opponents sweat. He'd ridden into Vegas on a winning streak a mile wide. But Vegas took everything, even his lucky gold tooth. You'd think he couldn't fall any lower than a homeless shelter full of the downtrodden. And he couldn't possibly have anything left to lose. But you'd be wrong. Johnny soon discovers there's a game going on at the shelter. A game where before you play the cards you have to make them. A game where the payout is survival and folding means death. A game where the question becomes: are you playing the cards or are they playing you? Using 52 chapters, Arnzen's novel-of-cards is stacked with mischief and thrills. Like the most accomplished blackjack dealer, Arnzen will keep you guessing at his hand. Are you ready to play? 272 pages, hardbound, March 2007.
