Book excerpt: The collection of new poker games introduced here is intended for those groups of friends who play poker once a week, and play well known games for fun, satisfaction and only a small profit!The usual Texas Hold 'Em and stud games frequently require the player to fold and drop out of many a hand. The games offered in this collection are mostly variations of popular games, Texas Hold 'Em and stud, and are based on some simple additional features. They are designed to promote staying longer in a hand, to encourage developing strategies, and to enjoy the evening even more.

Download or read book Dealer s Choice written by James Ernest and published by Overlook Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all know that money won is twice as sweet as money earned, and there are plenty of books that will help you if you want to mortgage the house to take on the $30-$60 table at the Mirage or the Taj Mahal; but most of us are looking for a friendlier species of the game, a chance to test our luck in the enjoyable company of friends, and, if we are favored with good fortune and they are not, to really, really rub their noses in it. Dealer's Choice is the ultimate guide to the world of low stakes poker, where fun and bragging rights count as least as much as the final tally. Starting with the elementary principles every beginner will need to know before swimming with the sharks-betting, bluffing, and the hierarchy of hand values-Dealer's Choice also includes invaluable tips on how to host the perfect poker evening (the relative merits of chips versus coins, what food to serve) as well as fascinating sidebars (great poker hands in cinema, trivia, unspoken laws of the game) and hilarious profiles of archetypal poker characters-the kinds of oddball one is bound to encounter sooner or later across the green felt. Every conceivable variety of poker is discussed in each of its variants, from established favorites like Baseball and Follow the Queen to truly esoteric mutations of the authors' own invention such as Frankenstein, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and Hamlet (i.e., Jacks are low, Queens are wild, Kings dead). Renowned illustrator Phil Foglio has enlivened the text with spectacular line drawings. With worldwide interest in poker at unprecedented peak, Dealer's Choice gives casual players the chance to re-create, right in their living rooms, the excitement of the World Series of Poker... except without the five million dollar jackpot-but pizza and beer aren't bad either.
Download or read book The Poker Club written by Ed Gorman and published by Speaking Volumes. This book was released on with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Gorman’s writing is strong, fast and sleek as a bullet. He’s one of the best.”—Dean Koontz It all started so innocently. It was just a group of buddies meeting for a weekly poker game. No harm done—until the night an intruder broke in while they were playing. They didn't mean to kill him, that was an accident. They thought if they threw the body in the river no one would ever know. That's where they were wrong. Dead wrong. The intruder hadn't come alone. His friend was waiting for him outside the house and he saw it all. Suddenly the game had changed. What had started out as a simple poker game now became a game of cat and mouse. The stakes were raised too—to life and death. And it looked like the attacker in the shadows held all the cards. "Scary because it's so plausible, and because Gorman knows exactly how to keep the reader on the edge of his seat."—Science Fiction Chronicle “One of Gorman’s strongest yet . . . a sense of menace that grows until it becomes almost palpable.”—Forthcoming Mysteries
