| As I went into my local book store after receiving graduation money to buy some more poker books, i Amarillo Slims new book and decided to check it out. After reading it for 15 minutes I thought it was hilarious and knew it'd pay for itself. It only partially has to do with poker (though gives a great history on the WSOP), but some of the schemes in there are worth knowing for poker players in case their bank rolls take a hit one night. Anyway wondering if anybody else has read this book yet and what they think. | ||

| I think my nieces are plotting to get me this book for my birthday, ... so I won't get to read it till November 7th ... grrrrr. I hear that it is absolutely extraordinary read. Here is a great read for you: The first article and basis for Jim McManus's book "Positively Fifth Street" was the Harper's article called "Fortune's Smile" which if you haven't read, ... You are in for a real treat. I shamelessly promote this article for the reading pleasure it has given me and for the positive feedback I have gotten from people that "discover" it after I bring it to their attention. Here is the link, ... Enjoy! http://www.findarticles.com/cf_0/m1111/1807_301/68018764/p1/article.jhtml flintsword | ||

| Glad you enjoyed the article, and if you have any friends, send the link to them. I found that most poker players really enjoyed the article. My nieces had better come through with the book on my birthday, or it will be "coal at Christmas ... lol" flintsword | ||
