Shut up and deal

About this book

This is a wild and stormy trip into the booming casino industry of the 1990s, told by Mickey, an obsessed young poker pro. He's the Cincinnati Kid all tricked out for the 90s, and his story is poker, pure poker, brought to life by a cast of shrewd, outlandish characters, all of whom give him a run for his money. Here is a world in which the anarchy of chance comes into cold, harsh focus, and Mickey navigates his way through it with an unusual combination of guile and virtue.
