Default Diary of a Mad Poker Player

One man's erotic journey from Milan to Minsk...Ok not really. One man's journey to try and qualify for the Main event at the world series of poker.

Top 10 reasons you may enjoy this book:
10. If you've ever wanted to punch someone and typed "nh" instead.
9. If you've ever entered a limit sit n go instead of a no limit by mistake.
8. If you've ever accidentally folded KK while playing 4 tables at once.
7. If you've ever played just to avoid the rest of your boring life.
6. If you've ever awaken from a boredom induced coma after reading a poker strategy book.
5. You've ever wondered where some people get the user id "poopmaster".
4. You've ever wondered how easy it would be to cheat at online poker (the author actually does it)
3. You want to know what the sites do to combat the cheating.
2. You've ever played in a WSOP crapshoot...uhh..I mean super satellite
1. You're addicted to poker books.

This book was pretty entertaining. To check out a full review go to:

Sorry, I only play realpoker. So an internet poker player's journey is of no interest to me.

Internet poker is an oxymoron (and the sufix describes most players [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ) Even though it is played for real money, it's on par with video games.

Real poker involves real people, sonny...

I score 10 of 10.

Course, Internet poker ain't REAL poker.

Sounds like another 20-40 live grinder jealous of the internet game he can't beat.
