I really enjoyed this book and read it right through. It has everything that would interest gamblers and non gamblers alike. It's the story of Jon Finkel and his transformation from an overweight geek who was unmercifully picked on by bullies to his rise to the World Champion Magic player, card counter, poker champion and professional sports bettor. It also helps explain how a group of young poker players could play so competitively and leave a mark at the World Serits of Poker. Here ismy review.
