“These days poker pros are so often seen as emotionless bots, computing ranges and bet-sizings, headphones over the ears, shades over the eyes, scarf wrapped around a pulseless neck. But poker doesn't have to be this way, since, at heart, it is a social game, bursting with all kinds of information, often on the periphery of awareness. By placing his poker sessions in a lived context---whether that be replacing a headlight on his car, preparing forensic reports for a clinical psychologist or coaching his kids at basketball---DGAF shows how richly human the poker grind can be (once we finally get to the table, that is); of greatest value are the hands themselves, mostly played in Vegas, where DGAF's experience and courage come to the fore, particularly in the way he reads his opponents and customises each play, taking acute advantage of how he’s perceived at the table. This is a raw audio-log of a long-time pro, who combines intuition with analytical thinking, treats his opponents with respect (no matter the stake/their skill level) and shows how there's always treasure to be found, everytime we sit down to play, so long as we’re prepared to risk those chips when it matters.”Read full review »
“The realest experience that professional poker players go through. This is it, the unfiltered truth about why so many struggle with what looks like, on the surface, a cushy job. A must listen to anyone interested in poker”
