Quote from Benny BINION in the book........

"I suppose if I had to do it all over again, I would most certainly be a gambler again, because there is nothing else an ingnorant man can do."

I think many of us here can relate to that.

Not bad. I have some friends who just loved it. I thought it was ok.

"Shut Up and Deal" is my all time favorite work of fiction on Poker.
