Chris Moneymaker, the 2003 World Champion of Poker, has joined the poker author bandwagon with the release of
his book: Moneymaker: How an Amateur Poker Player Turned $40 into $2.5 Million at the World Series of Poker.
Due to all kinds of legal disclaimers I can't copy it here, but if you would like to read an excerpt from the book you
can visit this link to HarperCollins.com.
2. If you'd rather improve skills with a program than a book, Poker Drill Master - a new poker skill building and training program - has a discount of $10 off today (May 4) only at http://bitsdujour.com
3. A pretty easy read, the parts about the actual Main Event are pretty good the rest was boring. I would not pay for it but if you can borrow it, it is well worth reading the parts about the ME.
I came away from it thinking he has got a pretty big gambling problem. I mean a guy with wife and kid just blowing money...phew.

5. I found it a few months ago at the local used bookstore. Paid around 2.50 for it. It was worth the 2.50 just to get all the background info and to read about the experience, but that's about all it's worth.
The original post made it sound like it just came out (or maybe I'm just misreading it), but it came out in 2/2005.
6. Sorry guys - my bad. I thought it was newer than that. This one somehow slipped by me last year. Damn Canuck bookstores are deceiving sometimes ;)

1. I enjoyed reading it (which only took some hours), although it's basically an easy read about "Money" and his life prior to the WSOP, during the WSOP and after the WSOP. Some interesting facts about him, but apart from that no "deeper" poker knowledge there...
Sidenote: I just visited the harper collins site...23.95$? lol...I bought it for 2,95$ of Alibris...
