From the Back Cover

A great read for novice, intermediate, and advanced players, as well as the card hustler.

Our obsession with poker is boundless. From the nationally televised World Series of Poker, through celebrity tournaments, online poker sites, and the popularity of casinos worldwide, poker has found its way from smoky basements into American mainstream culture. Poker Wit and Wisdomis a timely collection of pithy quotes and amusing anecdotes by the wags, rakes, scoundrels, and philosophers of America's beloved card game. Here's what some of them had to say:

"I guess what I'm trying to tell you, neighbor, is that poker has come of age, and there has never been a better time for you to get fat in the hip. There are games all over the world and no shortage of bad players."--Amarillo Slim

"All poker is a form of Darwinism: the fit survive, the weak go broke."--A. Alvarez

"Poker is not a game in which the meek inherit the earth."--David Hayano

"Every American as a point of patriotic pride should know how to play an acceptable game of poker."--Albert H. Morehead

"There are few things that are so unpardonably neglected in our country as poker . . . it is enough to make one ashamed of one's species."--Mark Twain

About the Author

A. D. Livingston took up poker at the age of twelve and has played ever since, including four years as a semiprofessional. He is the author of Poker Strategy and Catching Poker Cheats. He lives in Wewahitchka, Florida.

J. Huntington
4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but padded
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2008
Verified Purchase
An excellent compendium, but too short (page and font sizes attempt to conceal that), and too much material by Livingston himself, who continues to recycle his own writings to an extreme extent. I wish A.D. would write an entirely new book, without just changing the titles of and adding a few pages to his old ones. What was once titled "Poker Strategy and Winning Play" was the best dealers-choice book of all time, so I know he can think and write with the best... so how about it?
