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.

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.

This is one of the all time greats. To see how the mind of a poker player works is very enlightening. Plus one can see how China operated during WWII. This is a book that can be enjoyed both by card players and non card players.
