Re: "Ace on the River"

Binions,

It's actually been scary how well people who have read my book have done in
tournaments. (Just recently, for example, **** who had maybe one
cash in her life begged me for help. I gave her my book and she has had
three straight in the money finishes in big tournaments.) And I'm talking
about many famous players. If I wrote who read my book and then immediately
went on to big wins, people would make fun of me.

Junell's Aside:
This book gives a different and unique slant on the subject of winning money at poker. The project was born when Doyle asked Barry to write a chapter for Super System II on the subject of making money at poker. Barry found that he could offer much more than a single chapter, so he decided to put it all into this book. The book is filled with beautiful color photos on almost every page and could easily be described as a "coffee table book."

You can find the book here.
