blondepoker have just installed a new Menu Button on the home page, "Book Reviews".

We are in negotiations to commission a whole series of book reviews, starting pretty well immediately.

But one came to hand sooner than expected, and from a most unexpected source. It is, in my opinion, a quite beautiful, & original, type of Book Review, & I hope you will all take the time to read it.

Please do, I am sure you will appreciate it if you do & indeed appreciate it's Author's hidden talent.

You can find it here......

Or if you are really lazy, go straight to it here.....

What a great section Tikay.
I really enjoyed reading Snoopys views on this book, as he has a great writing style which really captivates the moment.
During the WCOOP main event on stars , I actually watched Greensteins table for a while (pre El Blondie table).
There was a guy on the rail questioning Greenstein about certain aspects of his book, which he didnt agree with.
Greenstein seemed a little bit offish, telling him, that he obviously wasnt ready to understand his book.

I noticed that Snoopy said he saw a photo of Actionjack in the book.
Sure it wasnt Mr Greenstein himself? I mean , has anyone actually saw Actionjack & Barry Greenstein in the same room together?

Our new reviewer has listed over 100 books in his collection...poker books. I also know he was sent the book to which you refer

The aim is to encourage all those who read the review to be able to comment on the book or the review themselves (or indeed do their own review) and all being well purchase books via a Blonde affiliate link.

When it's all finalised, it will be announced here.

Yes, I have that book and I would say it is one of the weakest efforts I have come across.

Would make an intriguing review.

Review it then spoony.........please.

A review of UkPoker's book? We have no problem with that, so long as it's done from a "neutral" position.

I K I - yes, it seems we have, amongst our midst, a bit of a star in young spoony, I really did enjoy his review. Book Reviews CAN be so dry - we are not interested in "dry" writing.

Just seen on the news an item regarding this thread ...

Apparently Tikay was found in bed with Snoopy and they were indulging in a spot of man loving ... snoopy was clutching a 5 pound note whilst tikay was taking advantage of him, when interupted by the police, Tikay immediately blamed Dave Colclough ..saying " I asked dave how much we should pay Snoopy for the review, and Dave replied..... give him a fiver and screw him"

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

According to tikay it never did stand up, otherwise you'd both have been well gone before the police arrived.
