I think the subject matter of the book went totally over your head. The book is only about a pro because the player "thinks" he's a pro. His plays are only good because the player "thinks" his plays are good. This is not a book on how to play correctly. It is a book about kid in his late 20s, full of cockyness, thinking he knows it all, and willing to put everything on the line. Maybe this is why he borrows money? Maybe this is why he is always broke?

If you wanted a book on how to play poker correctly, this isn't it. If you wanted a book about a professional making millions of dollars because he "plays correctly," this isn't it. If you wanted a book about a TRUE professional poker player, this isn't it.

New (and old) players to the game will relate to the player in this book in almost every way. Maybe we you used to think or play like him at some point, or perhaps you still do. Either way, there is truth to the book.
