Title: Check Raising the Devil - Mike Mattusow Post by: outragous76 on January 20, 2010, 02:03:51 PM I bought this yesterday and I'm already half way thru it - what a great read, it is un-put-downable (new word for you Cos)
The writing style on the whole is poor, but the capture of his emotion (and lets face it Mike is an emotional guy), is very good. It isn't going to win any literary prizes, but if you like MM it is a very good read (so far). Just a heads up ;D Title: Re: Check Raising the Devil - Mike Mattusow Post by: creepy_benji on January 20, 2010, 02:37:23 PM Yeah Middy bought this in Vegas and I borrowed it, once you start reading you can't stop, I think everyone who read it did it in less than 2 or 3 days. Do I still have your copy Middy? I can't remember if I gave it back to you or not.

Has anyone read Brunson's book? Title: Re: Check Raising the Devil - Mike Mattusow Post by: Rotty on January 20, 2010, 07:46:39 PM certainly is interesting, be good to learn the other side of the court case though

Yes, I got it for Christmas and read it in 2-3 days over the holiday. The amount of times these pros have money then go broke or nearly broke and then recover again, was a bit of an eye opener for me. I guess it shouldn't have been really. I guess his real bad beat was not investing in Full Tilt when he had the chance. |
