Pressestimmen
"The joy of this book lies in its single-minded application of the rules of poker to life in general" - The Sunday Times "The game of Poker exemplifies the worst aspects of capitalism that have made our country so great." - Walter Matthau "If you ain't a tiger, baby, forget it!" - Jimmy the Greek
Kurzbeschreibung
Winning at poker is not just analysis, clever tactics, not even inspired bluff, although TOTAL POKER examines in great depth what makes up these various elements. Ultimately luck works out the same for everyone, there really is no such thing as good cards or bad cards; winning is a psychological decision and up to each player.

Farewell Great Knight.
22. September 2005
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Yes, I suppose the title may be a bit confusing here. First of all, let me clarify that this is not a "how to" book. It is a work celebrating the game of poker which places it skillfully within our cultural milieu. It is more a cultural history than a manual for novices. However, I believe that it should have value for all as there are a great many technical works but precious few David Spaniers. Indeed, unfortunately, Mr. Spanier has passed away. The reader will lament this fact shortly after he begins because the author strikes one as being good solid company. Many poker writers are players first, and writers... barely at all. That certainly is not the case with this narrator. His prose is strong and he paints a beautiful, impressionist picture of poker that you'll long remember. He approaches his subject with great enthusiasm and examines it from many angles. A fine essay about poker and film is included; wherein, he illustrates aptly that The Hustler, although it was not even about cards, is the greatest poker movie ever. A case study of former World Series of Poker champion, Puggy Pearson, reveals the ways of the professional. While cheating, along with a detailed description of "Loss" Vegas, are among the clever subjects addressed within. One of the best things about reading Total Poker, if you ask me, was getting to know David Spanier. He's an Englishman of the old school who would not readily find a home in "Cool Brittania." He was born and lived, for the most part, many miles away (and above) political correctness. Instead of making excuses for the "maleness" that is the game, he glorifies it. David Spanier, you sir, are missed.

This book is the nuts.
26. August 1998
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Spanier analyses the game not from a technical angle, but rather using a more complete view which includes the psychological aspect. He looks at a variety of games in a refreshing way, and makes the book readable even to those insufficiently talented to be able to play.
