waste of time. I want my money (credit) back. I used my monthly credit so it was kind of free - still not worth it.

This was a bunch of poker players being interviewed for a puff piece. void of all strategy and instruction but tons of "how did you get started playing poker?" and "what do your friends and family think about you playing poker for a living?"

not a "how to" at all!

great narration of pointless dribble with no actual knowledge or insight into the poker world. the whole book is a story about a dude that's real proud about himself.

nothing to learn here
