Product Description

Gaming books are hugely successful e.g. "Play Poker Like the Pros". This work features reviews in poker magazines and on poker websites. It will appeal to readers of rags-to-riches stories. It features reviews in men's magazines. Even if you don't follow poker, you'll love and appreciate this story. A humble, married accountant who never played poker in his life, starts playing, and after about three years, he enters an online tournament and wins $80k. A few weeks later in early 2003, he enters his first live tournament - the incredible World Series of Poker, and forks over the $40 entrance fee, and ends up winning $2.5 million, instantly becoming the envy of poker players around the world. This is the story of Chris Moneymaker and this is his real, Rocky-to-riches story. Poker continues to take the world by storm, with bestsellers like "Positively 5th Street", "Play Poker Like the Pros", and "Bringing Down The House". Nobody has a story quite like Chris Moneymaker, and in his book, he's not only going to give you his personal saga, but he's also going to show us all how the average Joe can transform their lives, pay off their mortgages, send kids to university, and continually play poker and win, in this amazing memoir/how-too book that's going to appeal to just about everyone - from mass media to the entire poker community.

3.0 out of 5 stars Read once only, 18 Jul 2006

By	Mr. M. A. Woodhouse "Mike Woodhouse" (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Moneymaker (Hardcover)

This is anything but a self-help poker manual. It's much more a warts-and-all account of how a fairly ordinary guy with an extraordinarily apt name and an almost uncontrollable problem managed to parlay a small-stakes online satellite tournament entry into a seven-figure sum at the WSOP Main Event and in the process drag his life away from the gutter into which it had previously been headed.

While you won't learn how to play poker better, there's much of interest in following Chris' career (both senses of the word) develop and seeing how the biggest tournament in world poker unfolds. It's rather refreshing, though, to discover that Chris isn't painted as some poker genius, or even a particularly successful - or likeable - human being.

Probably just about worth reading once, but give it away or sell it thereafter: there's nothing that you'll want - or need - to go back to.

3.0 out of 5 stars Moneytaker, 6 Mar 2007

By	Mr. A. J. Stanway "Pokerintheas" (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read this book on the flight over to the World Series last year to see if it would provide me with any insight into what i might expect. There were a few interesting observations but nothing earth shattering. I wouldn't say it is 'unputdownable' but it is a fairly enjoyable read. It won't provide you with any real tips to improve your play, it merely documents Moneymaker's ride to the world series and how he felt during his journey to eventually winning it.
It's not a bad book.
