"This book read like a Texan sitting down over his cards and a couple of frosty beers telling you about his life on the road. A very intelligent and cagey Texan, who does what he does better than anyone before or since. I think that there have been poker players before and after Doyle who have beaten him, some that may know parts of the game better than him, but none TRULY exemplify the game more than him. This book is him. You almost have to read it with a drawl! But you see, from page 1, that this guy is no idiot. Brunson was scouted by the LAKERS for jebus sake! He is competitive, contemplative, humorous, and honest. You can't expect more of a poker player, a man or a texan! Thanks for writing this Doyle! I loved it!"
"The first book I have ever read from Doyle Brunson and a gift from a good friend Eric. I would rec this to anyone who plays poker but especially anyone who wants to read the thicker SUPER series of Doyle's books.
It is full of hints and tips as well as great poker table stories from one of the game's greats!"
"Some neat stories from an old poker player, but not the greatest book in the world. The stories are pretty good but moderately predictable. There's a great story about a guy who sits at a table with a red book with the titles on it etched in gold: "How to Bluff and Win Every Time." Everybody sees the book, and the title, and everybody calls him all the time. And he's winning every hand.
So when he gets up from the table, he leaves the book, and when they open it, every page is blank except for the first one, and all it says is, "Don't."
Or maybe that story is in another book. Whatever."
