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  Grin

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.

I'm a Matusow fan so will ask for this for my upcoming birthday.

Has anyone read Brunson's book?

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.
