Not a very good one though. My favorite line:

Quote:
"I'd tell a new player to just play your bankroll," he says. "That's generally 40 times the big blind." So at the $3/$6 table, that would mean having around $240 to play.
Uhhh..no.

"When Chris Moneymaker won the televised 2003 World Series of Poker after first wagering $39 in an online tournament, wannabe pro gamblers across the country turned to their own computers in hopes of repeating history. Greg "Fossilman" Raymer did just that in the 2004 championship game."

Am I reading this wrong, or does the first sentence contradict itself as to the year Raymer won?

God Bless these people...

and bless me more when I take their chips.

"With poker in particular, Whyte says, people think their skill is going to trump the random outcome of the game, and that is a very dangerous thing."
