Download or read book The Poker Book written by Pearleen Harvey and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many other poker games. I could write another volume on the wild-card games alone. Basically, the play is similar to the popular games so far discussed. Any good player will soon figure a new game to his advantage. Never get into a game that is new to you and play for high stakes. You could lose a fortune until you have the game analyzed. My greatest single contribution to your success as a poker player is the advice and knowledge about chicanery in a large majority of poker games. This was not written in this way to make a story. It is a fact. After many and varied associations with hustlers, both profitable and otherwise, I have formed an unshakable opinion--99 percent are the dregs of humanity. They would steal or cheat their own mothers. Honor and principle are words that have no meaning to them. Of all associations, only two ever proved trustworthy. These two are my friends to this day. And I am a friend of theirs. Anything I have, they can have. They are the same with me. The others, they would borrow money, never intending to pay back. They may hide the money that was to be split then claim we never won that amount. Many a good-paying partnership was broken off by me for these reasons. The greedy hustlers lost more by being left out of the action than was ever gained by chiseling me. If ever a hustling operation is exposed, you may bet your family jewels some jealous hustler has a finger of suspicion on it. Consequently, by my exposing the many and varied means of bilking the public, I do not believe I am doing harm to any deserving segment of society. This is my way of relieving my conscience for taking advantage of the very few of you who deserve sympathy. Perhaps, in some measure, I can return your losses by passing on the kind of information that will save or make money for you in the future. After all, if you are equally informed, who has the advantage?

Book excerpt: A JOHN DENSON MYSTERY John Denson, the Seattle private eye with a taste for screw-top wine and beautiful women, and his partner, Willie Prettybird, a shaman of the Cowlitz tribe, are up against their deadliest case: an engineered outbreak of anthrax in the Pacific Northwest that may kill hundreds of people, including John and Willie—unless they can locate the villain who's spreading the disease. Once tobacco-chewing cattle baron Monty Hook calls in the fearsome duo, the list of suspects balloons: what of the rodeo cowboy determined to strut his stuff at Chief Joseph Days this weekend, or the gorgeous barkeep with a roving eye, or the ancient but spry teacher intent on enjoying this week's reunion of her old high-school students? And what of the chief of police himself—not to mention the televangelist Hamm Bonnerton, in town for some quick fund-raising? One of them's playing liar's dice, and coming up snake eyes. And killing people...

Download or read book The Liars of Nature and the Nature of Liars written by Lixing Sun and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A natural history of cheating from selfish genes to lying politicians Nature is rife with cheating. Possums play possum, feigning death to cheat predators. Crows cry wolf to scare off rivals. Amphibians and reptiles are inveterate impostors. Even genes and cells cheat. The Liars of Nature and the Nature of Liars explores the evolution of cheating in the natural world, revealing how dishonesty has given rise to wondrous diversity. Blending cutting-edge science with a wealth of illuminating examples—from microscopic organisms to highly intelligent birds and mammals—Lixing Sun shows how cheating in nature relies on two basic rules. One is lying, by which cheaters exploit honest messages in communication signals and use them to serve their own interests. The other is deceiving, by which cheaters exploit the biases and loopholes in the sensory systems of other creatures. Sun demonstrates that cheating serves as a potent catalyst in the evolutionary arms race between the cheating and the cheated, resulting in a biological world teeming with complexity and beauty. Brimming with insight and humor, The Liars of Nature and the Nature of Liars also looks at the prevalence of cheating in human society, identifying the kinds of cheating that spur innovation and cultural vitality and laying down a blueprint for combatting malicious cheating such as fake news and disinformation.

Download or read book The Kingdom of Liars written by Nick Martell and published by Gallery / Saga Press. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this brilliant debut fantasy, a story of secrets, rebellion, and murder are shattering the Hollows, where magic costs memory to use, and only the son of the kingdom’s despised traitor holds the truth. Michael is branded a traitor as a child because of the murder of the king’s nine-year-old son, by his father David Kingman. Ten years later on Michael lives a hardscrabble life, with his sister Gwen, performing crimes with his friends against minor royals in a weak attempt at striking back at the world that rejects him and his family. In a world where memory is the coin that pays for magic, Michael knows something is there in the hot white emptiness of his mind. So when the opportunity arrives to get folded back into court, via the most politically dangerous member of the kingdom’s royal council, Michael takes it, desperate to find a way back to his past. He discovers a royal family that is spiraling into a self-serving dictatorship as gun-wielding rebels clash against magically trained militia. What the truth holds is a set of shocking revelations that will completely change the Hollows, if Michael and his friends and family can survive long enough to see it.
