Poker Nation: A High Stakes, Low-Life Adventure Into The Heart of a Gambling Country by Andy Bellin || Popular Casino Games & Gambling Books || Popular Poker Books || On Their Backs Book For Poker Players and Card Game Champions || Texas Hold ‘Em or Stud and even Omaha Books for the Poker Enthusiast

Journalist and poker fanatic Andy Bellin takes readers on a raucous journey into the shut-up-and-deal world of professional poker. From basement games to the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, you'll look over his shoulder as he learns to count cards, read a legendary player's body language, hang in there when the chips are down, and take his beatings like a man.

"Poker Nation is a travelogue to the quirky world of competitive poker, an exploration of poker obsession and addiction (not necessarily the same thing) and a primer on mathematics, poker lingo and technique. Entertaining and accessible."
- USA Today

Even if you don't know the difference between a flop and a river card, Bellin keeps you in the game with his portraits of the colorful players, dreamers, hustlers, and eccentrics who populate this strange subculture.

Along with learning what goes on behind the scenes in illegal poker clubs, you'll get great advice on how to play Texas Hold 'em, today's game of choice for big-money players.
