Default Re: Cards by Maxwell isn\'t very good

I agree that the character in the book is both bad at poker and arrogant about it also. Maybe the bad play was written knowingly, but I suspect not.

The bad English and the typos really got on my nerves. "Steak" instead of "stake"? Come on. Have someone edit your work, man. I liked the concept of the book, but the grammar/syntax/bad poker really detracted from it.

Anyone have any idea how autobiographical the book is?

(P.S. All that being said, I found myself strangely drawn to keep reading it, but I often feel that way about books.)
