 At a time when new poker books are pouring onto store shelves, Dennis Purdy is the first author to offer a unique approach to learning poker with The Illustrated Guide to Texas Hold'Em. The former gambling pro uses a visual problem-solving approach rather than a textual approach at teaching poker strategy.
The first three chapters of the guide start off very similarly to many beginner books on the poker market, covering the basic rules of how to play Hold'Em, what you might wear to a table, how much you should buy-in for and some rules of good poker etiquette. The fourth chapter presents eight brief rules of 'good basic poker strategy' followed by a detailed explanation of actual odds and pot odds. Chapter five is where this book becomes unique as the next 300 pages are filled with 150 different, illustrated Texas Hold'Em poker scenarios, matched with the author's answer to each of the practice situations! Purdy ends the book with a noteworthy 30 page poker terminology glossary.
The cover indicates that this guide may make a winner out of an advanced player |

Another cozy light suspense novel by the tireless Dick Francis, that rather disconcerts the reader at first, partly because this time the hero is less than the stalwart fearless character expected from Francis, and partly because this book has the English racing world only at the periphery of the plot. An easy, well-paced tale, nonetheless, that entertains the reader in spite of the lack of racing scenes that are so much a feature of a typical Dick Francis book.
SPOILER ALERT
The novel opens with Max Moreton, a self-proclaimed star chef and owner of a high-end restaurant called The Hay Net, being accused of having poisoned most of his guests and a few of his staff members as well as himself, while cooking for a special party at the 2,000 Guineas race in Newmarket. The next day Moreton provides another lunch, again at Newmarket, and this time a bomb blast tears through the partys box, damaging and destroying lives. Moreton escapes with little more than a scratch. Soon after, he starts |
