| 3. | Professor, Banker and the Suicide King |
| (Winnemucca, NV) July 19, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| Fascinating inside look into the world of high-stakes poker. If you follow
poker on TV, you'll enjoy learning about these characters in real life,

recommended. |

| 8. | More Gambling than Poker |
| (New York) June 7, 2005 - 3.0/5 stars |
