Big Deal
Try This Instead

Not sure if this is the right fit?

Consider Big Deal by Anthony Holden. Recommended by 2 sources.

Reading this feels like shadowing a curious travel writer who has wandered into a closed-off subculture. Holden spends a year embedded with professional poker players across Las Vegas, Malta, Morocco and at sea, narrating hands, personalities, and barroom repartee while folding in moments of self-reflection. What works best is lively, anecdotal immersion — scenes of stakes, banter, and travel that bring the game to life. The main limitation is repetition and jargon: narrative momentum stalls when similar stories and name-dropping pile up, and it offers little in the way of practical poker instruction.
