HIGHLY recommended READ----Bobby Baldwin's WINNING POKER SECRETS

Fishhead · Jul 3, 2006

Picked up the revised edition(1979/2004) of this book at the library a few weeks ago and if you enjoy a very good "GAMBLING" read........get this book and read it cover to cover.

This book is equally a semi-autobiography of one of the greatest names in gambling, BOBBY BALDWIN, as it is about him revealing a few of his poker secrets.

If I had known this book revealed so much about Mr. Baldwins life, would have read it years ago.

I have as much respect for Mr. Baldwin as anybody in the entire gaming world.

HAVE ENJOYED READING THIS BOOK AS MUCH AS ANY GAMBLING BOOK..........IT COMES WITH MY VERY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.

Hope you all enjoy it as much as me............I believe you will.

this if from Barry Greenstein website about Bobby Baldwin.

Bobby doesn't play where he works because he thinks it looks unprofessional and he doesn't want any possible altercations with employees. One of the last times he played at the Mirage (where he was president at the time), he was sitting next to the dealer, when a security guard nudged him and told him to move so he could get the drop box. Bobby said, “Give me a second, buddy. I just have to figure out what to do with this hand. The security guard said, “Move, please.” Bobby said, “Do you realize I'm the president?” The guard replied, “I don't care if you're @#^*ing George Bush -- you need to move.” That was the guard's last day on the job.
