註釋With its combined elements of skill, chance, and courage, poker was destined to become the game of choice in casinos and back rooms everywhere. Alvarez narrates the history of the pastime that millions of people enjoy, relating its most amazing stories, unforgettable players, and incredible hands. From the first great marathon that lasted for five months straight, to the recent World Series of Poker, he captures a subculture rich with legend. A witty text and lavish array of poker-inspired art, advertisements, movie stills, photos, and decorated playing cards, chips, and markers illustrate the colorful evolution of the game that's taught generations how to outsmart their opponents, bluff their way to riches, and never give a sucker an even break.
