This fascinating book is a collection of autobiographical accounts from 20 of the very best poker professionals the world has ever seen.  The list of poker legends who have contributed to ‘Deal Me In’ reads like the Poker Hall of Fame.  The poker player’s stories which are told in the book include; Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, Chris Ferguson, Annie Duke, Johnny Chan, Jennifer Harman, Allen Cunningham, Chau Giang, Peter Eastgate, Tom Dwan, Howard Lederer, Carlos Mortensen, Chad Brown, Layne Flack, Annette Obrestad, David Ulliott, Erik Seidel and Scotty Nguyen.

There’s something for everyone in this intriguing compilation of poker tales.  There are highs and lows as you journey through these poker pro’s lives.  You can read Doyle Brunson's regret of spending so much of his time away from his family playing in live poker events across the world.  There’s also the sad story of how poker pro Scotty Nguyen saw his friend blown to pieces by a landmine in his native Vietnam.

Lighter-hearted moments include a confession from Full Tilt Poker pro Allen Cunningham that even though he is a quiet and calm person he finds himself shouting at the computer screen when playing online poker.  There’s also the tale of how Phil Hellmuth hung around a laundry room for hours just to manufacture a conversation with the woman who would later become Mrs Hellmuth.

The book also contains poker advice which is neatly intertwined within the frank memoirs.  Both Tom Dwan and Annie Duke tell how they use successful bankroll management to overcome losing streaks playing live and online poker.

'Deal Me In' is a compelling view of modern poker history which poker fans will find hard to put down.  You can buy copies of this great poker book at Hellmuth’s www.pokerbrat.com internet site and you will also find copies to be won while playing online poker at UltimateBet.
