About this title:
Synopsis:
Poker-mania is sweeping the nation, from the World Championship of Poker to internet poker and power poker. But home poker games shouldn't just be about winning: they're about stripping your opponents bare without their ever suspecting a thing. Teaming up with Mickey Lynn, Penn Jillette gives a home poker player everything he needs to know in one tidy volume. Lousy with attitude, stylish with swagger, How to Cheat Your Friends at Poker delivers a lifetime's worth of card-shark knowledge, including how to:
--pick your marks
--mark cards
--use "shiners" to keep track of other player's hands
--cut cards
--stash holdouts
This is not a book about how to play poker-the shelves are already full of those-it's about how to cheat, make money, and win big. If you're in the game, you're either a fish or a shark. How to Cheat Your Friends at Poker is the ultimate shark's playbook.
From the Inside Flap:
Penn Jillette—entertainer and magician extraordinaire--knows poker. Not necessarily because of his own skill, though he has that in spades. Jillette knows poker because he knows “Dickie Richards,” a lifetime card player who has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars over more than thirty years of cheating at home poker games. Dickie’s wisdom, filtered through Penn’s showman’s style, is distilled into this tidy volume.
This is not a book about how to play poker. It’s about how to cheat, make money, and win big. You’ll master the art of making friends just so you can gull them at cards, you’ll excel at marking cards and tossing the pot, and you’ll understand why the dealer should always win. Lousy with attitude, stylish with swagger, HOW TO CHEAT YOUR FRIENDS AT POKER delivers a true card-sharp’s tricks and tips, down to the last gambit.
HOW TO CHEAT YOUR FRIENDS AT POKER is the ultimate player’s handbook.
