Valuecall 0 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 The book probably has better "true crime" appeal than pure poker appeal like Holden's "Big Deal" or similar. I really liked this book a lot. At the beginning, I was distracted by the Binion murder topic -- I wanted a poker book. But soon I was riveted and became completely engrossed in the book. A nice read. You can buy hardcover copies on via Amazon Used sellers pretty cheap, too. Link to post Share on other sites
trippkelly 0 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Let me echo what has been said. BEST book I have read in quite some time. Poker or not. It is very well written and I couldn't put it down. I was sad at the end, just like Daniel, but my sadness was because it was the end...and I wanted more. Highly recommended.

freckles 0 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I picked up a copy of this book before going on vacation in 2004 (pre Moneymaker) and was blown AWAY by McManus' sheer writing ability. Thus began my love affair with Hold 'em tournaments and all things poker which continues to this day. His new book,"Cowboys Full-The Story of Poker" is a must read also for anyone interested in the lore and traditions of this great game. Link to post Share on other sites
vbnautilus 48 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 When I read your review, I search and download the book which I was reading now. I am in its 20 pages and the book was amazing though I have not yet finish reading. "A good book" - I think that was the first thing I can say on that book.Please contact me if you are interested in my "english optimization services".
