I haven't read it, but a friend of mine read killer poker and we discussed a concept that involved playing only the top half of the deck. It was this really elementary kind of logic that said if you're playing higher cards you're more likely to win. Really, John, do ya think?

Anyway I didn't really read it, just talked about it for an hour or so. I've read a ton of books, I have an entire shelf devoted to poker, blackjack, and gambling books. It's right above the math, physics and statistics books and right below the programming stuff.

I'm a huge fan of reading to improve, but a lot of the stuff out there is just complete garbage.
