My 50 Most Memorable Hands

my 50 Most Memorable HandsAn absolutely well laid-out book, narrated in a totally effortless fashion, this book is definitely a good buy. Doyle does not starts out explaining every detail, hence when you get this book, be sure that you know the basics of the game of Texas Hold ‘em. As it is, there are around, 10 hands of 50 that are not about hold ‘em hands. Be aware of them.

As Doyle elaborates the several hands, you are available with nicely detailed photographs of the cards. This way, you can get a feel of what has been shown on the table, with the story being told. This is the most amazing aspect of the book, i.e. the ability to see the cards and taking it all in. The flop, turn, and river are displayed almost all of the forty or so of the hold em hands; there are some times where he goes about telling the story sans the pictures of cards. A trivial inconvenience.

Doyle is definitely a poker legend, and it is great to now about his memories pertaining to these hands. A brilliant book, and I know that he may come up with fifty more someday!
