This classic book is out on its own, not only as a poker playing manual but also as an exposure of the cynical reality behind the American dream. As Yardley describes how he learned to master the game he teaches us the most important lessons that he had to learn the hard way. At the same time he's a master raconteur, spinning the yarns that make up his life and experience at the table, with an inventive wit.

The result is a marvellous autobiography about countless poker games and countless characters, about the railroad men, travelling salesmen, speculators, drunks, no hopers - even secret agents - whom Yardley saw through a tobacco haze across the green baize tables of the world.
