Publisher's Synopsis
A Comic Collection of 1500 Humorous Poker Quotations from Five Card Stud to No Limit Texas Hold 'em, from the World Series of Poker (WSOP) to the European Poker Tour (EPT), from 'The Cincinnati Kid' to the Poker Brat, from Phil Ivey to Gus Hansen, from Victoria Coren to the Hendon Mob, from Online Poker to Home Games, from 'Aces & Eights' to 'Rounders'. The Quotable Poker Player includes the funniest poker-based sayings and quotations from professional players, poker celebrities, authors, humorists and journalists, as well as a selection from literary sources and film & TV characters. It especially celebrates the fun-side of poker encompassing a transatlantic theme across both American and European views of the game. A special chapter Poker Media covers humorous reviews and comments about Poker Books, Poker Movies, Poker TV Shows and Poker Songs. "The Quotable Poker Player is a thorough compilation of over 1500 poker quotes from pro players, celebrities, films, historical figures, etc. With over 1500 references, there's a lot of exhaustively researched material packed between the pages. Overall, this is a great flip-through book that makes for an interesting browse. What I was particularly impressed with was the eclectic nature of the quotations. The special treat was the movie quotes and lines that related to poker, as well as music lyrics, etc. There are some really, really funny quotes in here! And given the recent publication date, it's pretty up-to-date with 2009 and 2010 references." Book Review by ANDREW KICAK on SmokePoker.com
