A book on the bedside table should never fail and, for lovers poker, to the Council a reading to be enjoyed and not from study as the "classic" manual to improve your game. Poker history Franck Daninos will bring the reader right at the beginning of his passion, to discover the different theories on poker's birth, then follow the developments in different times and places.
The game will be told through anecdotes, trivia, mythical matches starring the great champions or strangers that came from the suburbs, have raised their forward chips columns, perhaps moving the first steps in smoky back rooms, a bar. In Poker History find barialso, because in fact the Texas Hold'em is the only game in which lie, being selfish and bluff are the values and skills to improve to be able to say.
But what has poker special to be able to have so much later?
"Our time has created a game in his image": this is the conclusion reached Franck Daninos, reflecting on the characteristics of modern society in which poker, the last avatar of the American dream "still allows to dream freely, with the promise and hope to emerge thanks to their courage and personal merits, even if it starts virtually from scratch. Television and the web have done the rest, accelerating the spread of poker in a globalised society that was already ready to welcome him and to share the ideology.
You will not be faced with a manual of Sociology of poker but for a book from which there is much to learn, as the champion Luca Pagano, author of the foreword and apparatuses of Daninos that allows, in a sense, to master the secrets of poker that in reading the pure manuals can escape.
To close poker history, edited by Odoya Library (10 euros) you will find an afterword by Henry Honey titled "how the Texas stole the dish to the old telesina."
