Poker-mania is sweeping the nation, from the World Championship of Poker to internet poker and power poker. But home poker games shouldn't just be about winning: they're about stripping your opponents bare without their ever suspecting a thing. Teaming up with Mickey Lynn, Penn Jillette gives a home poker player everything he needs to know in one tidy volume. Lousy with attitude, stylish with swagger, "How to Cheat Your Friends at Poker "delivers a lifetime's worth of card-shark knowledge, including how to: --pick your marks--mark cards--use "shiners" to keep track of other player's hands--cut cards--stash holdoutsThis is not a book about how to play poker-the shelves are already full of those-it's about how to cheat, make money, and win big. If you're in the game, you're either a fish or a shark. "How to Cheat Your Friends at Poker "is the ultimate shark's playbook.… (mehr)

I'm a big fan of Penn Jillette. I absolutely believe the introduction in this book, which basically says Penn is putting this book out under his name to make good on an IOU. So, while this is edited and put together by Penn Jillette, I have no trouble seeing this as the warped brainchild of (the eloquently chosen pseudonym) Dickie.

That being said, this struck me as a morbidly fascinating read. I don't really think there's any "wisdom" to be taught. Dickie here wants to brag about his exploits, as his lifetime of loneliness has finally peaked and he's ready share the truth. And, truth be told, it's entertaining. It reeks of immorality and willful insanity, but it's rather interesting to know that people such as Dickie exist. ( )

This book isn't about the mechanics of cheating. It's instead about the process, the outlook, the lifestyle. It's a step by step walk in the life of a man with no ethics, no scruples, and no shame. The passing reference to how the first few times the guilt will make you want to retch, but with practice you'll get over it, is a crystalline summary of the entire book.

I felt dirty afterwards, and wanted to wash out my brain.

I recommend it, but be warned. ( )
