It doesn't matter to me whether the author wins or loses - or even if the memoir is completely true - I just love reading about the gambler's life. And Alson's account is one of the better ones I've read. It doesn't hurt that Alson is coauthor of the Stu Unger biography One of a Kind - and knows his way around a poker book. He doesn't get so caught up in the actual game that the book is nothing but dissection of hand after hand, but includes enough information about what happens away from the table to make you feel that you're really getting to know him.

Peter Alson turned fifty and proposed to his long-term girlfriend. To pay for the wedding, a plot was hatched: Alson would board a plane bound for Las Vegas and the biggest game in town, the 2005 World Series of Poker. Take Me to the River is a first person account of an inveterate gambler and bad boy's quest to grow up, while at the same time compete with more than 5,000 players for over £100 million dollars in prize money. It is an exploration of the lessons that poker has to teach: probability and luck, good and bad fortune, patience, and - fittingly - commitment. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
