Even if you don’t know the difference between a flop and a river card, Bellin keeps you in the game with his portraits of the colorful players, dreamers, hustlers, and eccentrics who populate this strange subculture. Along with learning what goes on behind the scenes in illegal poker clubs, you’ll get great advice on how to play Texas Hold’em, today’s game of choice for big-money players.
