Book Synopsis Poker Tales by : William Earnshaw Heise
Download or read book Poker Tales written by William Earnshaw Heise and published by . This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Texas Hold 'Em is one on the most popular card games being played in the world today. But author William Heise thought it odd that there was not a lot of literary fiction being written on poker. As he writes in his introduction: "Golf and baseball have given us hoards of books in the 20th century on the life lessons to be learned from their respective games.... But when it came to poker, I found that most recent literature on the subject was confined to the rough-and-tumble world of poker written by those who had experienced the up-and-down lifestyle for themselves." Noting that poker relies on bluffing as much or more than on the cards themselves, Heise has written a series of short stories which trade on this unique aspect of the game. In his frame narrative, a kid (known only as 'the Kid') breezes into Las Vegas the day after his 21st birthday and sits down at a table with an old-timer (known only as 'the Old-Timer'). The Old-Timer proceeds to tell the Kid a series of short stories on seemingly unrelated matters: * Tales of actors and directors * Tales of riverboat gamblers and chess masters * Tales of mobsters and Texas cheats * Even a tale of the Devil himself Each poker tale is worth reading on its own, but the question that arises in the frame narrative becomes whether the Old-Timer is simply the kindly old man that the Kid takes him to be, or whether he has a more devious purpose in mind when he invites the Kid to sit down and play this simple game with him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poker has been on a boom for almost a decade now, and writer Sean Chaffin's new book Raising the Stakes: True Tales of Gambling, Wagering and Poker Faces offers up stories of gambling and poker's unique history and lore. From underground games in Dallas to tales of the World Series of Poker to crazy stories like wagering at a Puerto Rican cockfight, Raising the Stakes features something for everyone interested in gambling, poker, or history in general. “There is just such a unique history and lore to gambling and poker,” he says. “Some of these stories are really out of the mainstream and not too well-known. I just know there is an audience out there like me, who love that unique poker culture.”Some of the book's features include:• The Top O' the Hill casino, an underground casino in Arlington, Texas, that was a forerunner to today's modern casinos. The story of how it was raided by law enforcement and eventually turned into a seminary is one of a kind.• Jack Strauss – his comeback story at the World Series of Poker spawned the phrase: “All you need is a chip and chair.” Many know the phrase, but not the larger than life story of this amazing poker player, gambler, and big game hunter.• The Amvets Club in Dallas – an underground poker room where many of the World Series of Poker's greatest players got their start. That history includes a gripping robbery and raid by law enforcement. • And many more. In recent years, Sean's work and coverage of the industry have appeared in many publications including Poker Pro, World Poker Tour magazine, American Cowboy, Hooters magazine, Fort Worth magazine, H magazine in Houston, Poker Europa, Poker Player Newspaper, and more. He has interviewed and covered some of the biggest names and events in the poker world. For the last year, he has been a contributor to Casino Player, Strictly Slots, and Canadian Poker Player magazines. For several years, Sean has served as monthly crime writer for Advocate magazines in Dallas. He also owned a weekly newspaper in Rockwall, Texas, for five years.Chaffin grew up in Crandall, Texas, playing poker in his father's regular poker games. He is a native Texan who attended Texas A&M University, majoring in journalism and English. He now lives in Rockwall, Texas, with his wife Kathy and daughters Marie and Chloe.Beyond his magazine writing, Sean is editor of www.PokerTraditions.com, a site all about poker history, lore, and people. The site is re-launching with the book's release.*****“Raising the Stakes takes readers from the saloons and back rooms of poker's early days to the high-stakes tables and televised tournaments of today. Its entertaining anecdotes and insider's perspective will leave even casual players itching to play a few hands.”– Tom Wilmes, Deputy Editor, American Cowboy magazine“Sean's writing offers a unique insight into poker's past, present, and future.”– Antonio Esfandiari, poker pro and ESPN World Series of Poker commentator“Sean Chaffin has a unique insight into casinos and gambling and is one of the go-to writers in the poker world.”– John “Johnny Quads” Wenzel, Editor-in-Chief, Poker Pro magazine“Sean Chaffin is a lot more than a journalist. He's an incredible writer who understands the casino and gaming industry on a very deep level. When I need to assign a big story, I contact Sean.”– Rob Wiser, Editor, Casino Player magazine“Sean Chaffin is one of my favorite writers for many reasons but mostly because he's a great story-teller. Lots of people can write but only the best can tell stories as if you were sitting around the campfire.”– Paul K. Harral, Executive Editor, Fort Worth, Texas magazine“Sean has a unique voice that captures the seriousness of stories while also injecting bits of humor and irony. He does a good job of collecting oodles of information and condensing it into easily digestible short articles.”– Christina Hughes Babb, Managing Editor, Advocate magazines-Dallas
Download or read book Cowboys Full written by James McManus and published by Souvenir Press. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Cowboys Full traces the story of poker from its roots in China, until Americans took what was a French parlour game and turned it into a national craze by the time of the American Civil War. Poker has been inextricably linked with American history ever since. It has been played by numerous presidents (Richard Nixon financed his first campaign office through his poker winnings) and has been used as a political tool to explain policy, for networking and to negotiate treaties."'A joy for poker players and non-players alike," but, of the second group, who cares what they read?"David Mamet, author of 'Glengarry Glen Ross'Poker echoes how we conduct wars and do business: cheating and bluffing, leveraging uncertainty, managing risk and reward. In the past poker was thought to be a cheater's game but it has since become a mostly honest contest of cunning, mathematics and luck. It is the world's, and cyberspace's, most popular card game and has had an immense impact on popular culture (McManus explores its portrayal in novels, movies and plays).Combining colourful history with the author's own personal experience of the professional tour Cowboys Full introduces the reader to all the major forms of poker, the game's most notorious players and demonstrates how poker has informed military, diplomatic and business life for centuries.James McManus is the author of the bestselling poker memoir Positively Fifth Street, he writes about poker for The Economist, The New Yorker and Harper's among others.
