Professor- the Banker- and the Suicide King- The - Inside the Richest Poker Game of All Time

5 stars (What it's like to be Howard Lederer) - This book is a quick read and will do nothing to make you a better poker player. But it's a great story. If you want to know what it's like to play high stakes poker at the highest levels, this book is great. Gives you a much more accurate picture of folks like Lederer, Brunson, Ivey, Reese, etc than what you see on the World Poker Tour. Lots of great stories and anectdotes about the personalities and some really big games. 4 stars (Inside the Richest Poker Game of All Time) - In the days before the poker boom - today poker players are star personalities and hours and hours of games are televised on cable, a super rich amateur decided to take on the best money poker players in the world. Andy Beal played head-up matches with these pros and the results were surprising. With the pro's essentially being the "house" (the player with the greater advantage - like the dealer in Blackjack) - Andy worked and studied on how to lessen these advantages that the pros brought in to each and every game. Also some great insight into the lives away from the poker rooms of Vegas for the folks who make a living on the fall of the cards. If you are the sort of person who who pick this book up, then you will probably enjoy this brisk and entertaining read. 5 stars (Pure Enjoyment) - If you enjoy poker, and enjoy reading, this is an outstanding book. No strategy, just a great story about what many of us can only dream of, a person who is filthy rich, up against people who would gamble on anything they feel like they have an edge at. A lot of fun. ...

Byrne-s New Standard Book of Pool and Billiards

5 stars (All I Needed) - I have only been playing for about six months, so I am not too good. If you are like me, and you want to improve your game, buy this book. It is fun to read and extremely helpful. I probably won't be able to master every technique in the book in ten years, but the two or three things I have learned have taken my game to a whole new level. I love it. It is all I need. 5 stars (The bible of pocket billiards) - Robert Byrne's New Standard Book of Pocket Billiards is a key resource in any billiard library for beginners and experts alike. I believe it is the best overall book on pocket billiards extant. Although it does contain a few inaccuracies and instances of scanty detail, overall, it is an invaluable guide for learning fundamentals of pocket billiards with well written explanations and instructive illustrations.... 5 stars (Robert Byrne is brilliant!) - This is a book I come back to time and time again. As someone who plays off and on, I often refer to the book when pool is 'back' in my life. This is a keeper! The diagrams, the history, why shots do what they do, how to play the angles, you can't beat it. Its both informative and entertaining. ...

Pro Football Prospectus 2005 - Statistics- Analysis- and Insight for the Information Age

5 stars (Outsiders no more) - Unique and intriquing look at statistical analysis of the game of Football. Their statistics are gaining more and more recognition and deservedly so. I must have for football and fantasy fans everywhere. 4 stars (Good stuff) - The predicted stats seem a little low, but they're all low so it's still a good point of comparison. I think the custom stats are ok, analyzing football stats like baseball stats still has a way to go but this is a good starting spot. Not perfect but well worth the price. More info than a half dozen fantasy magazines, nowhere near the cost. 5 stars (If you like the NFL, you will love this book.) - Although I sometimes get bogged down with the statistical analysis in the book, once all the number crunching is done and the authors get down to discussing what they've discovered based on their analysis, it all makes sense and really makes this an oustanding book. This is a book you will read through once and then constantly refer back to during the season. Where the predictions correct? Does this team stuff the ball at the line of scrimmage like they said? Can this team convert crucial 3rd downs? All these topics are covered. GET THIS BOOK NOW! ...
