Nobody tells a better story than the ol' cowboy who won the calf roping championship at the Calgary Stampede two years in a row and, a decade later, pulled off the most famous bluff ever recorded at final table of the $10,000 championship event at the World Series of Poker. This books is endorsed by just about every "name" in poker, including Bobby Baldwin, Jack Binion, and Doyle Brunson.
