Re: David Hayano at Commerce?

Is it worth $75 or $100? I don't know, but I can say that while poker has changed in the last 25 years, the people who frequent cardrooms haven't changed nearly as much, and this book has the proof. Poker, and cardrooms in particular, attract certain types of people, and Hayano does a great job of catalogging their traits and habits in his book.

Though dated, its a great read and offers many insights for any player who has spent a great deal of time in California card rooms. Keep in mind that in the era about which Hayno writes, players were dealing some of the games themselves.
Rather than $75, check the local library first. Its a fast read. There's no real reason to own it unless the reader is a major pker book junkie.
