Re: Aces and Kings: Reviews?
I finished Aces and Kings last night. It was a good read starting with Puggy Pearson through Ungar and finishing with the Internet Kids of today. The chapters gave good concise information and inside anectdotes of many of poker's hall of fame.
Many of the stories were not new to me, but a good tale anyway. The last couple of paragraphs about Stuey's demise were the first place I saw that though... interesting about his true demise...
Also I had wondered why Chip Reese is considered the best Poker player and the authors answered that question quite well. Another story I found interesting (and first place I saw it) was what Eric Seidel thinks about his claim to fame being the guy that Johnny Chan outplayed in the WSOP Final Table immortalized by the move "Rounders".
Read this one for fun and to learn the history of poker. It's not a strategy or play improvement book.
