This was fun. Not particularly impressive or moving or anything -- just a pretty straightforward discussion of her two most famous tournaments, interspersed with some discussion of her background. Interesting, and I learned quite a bit about Omaha, which is not a poker variant I was very familiar with. (

This book is fabulous. It is actually three books in one. Poker tips, tournament information and biography all rolled in one. Kudos to Annie and her co writer for blowing the curtains off of televised poker. This book cured me of ever wanting to be a poker pro.
Note: The back of the book contains a poker glossary and mini bios of poker pros that you make have seen on t.v. It is a extra bonus not to pass up. (

I found this book just Ok, her life as a poker player is definitely interesting, but I felt the book was missing something (
