Poker Books by Phil Foglio

Dealer’s Choice is the ultimate handbook for low stakes poker, where enjoyment and boasting are as important as the final score. It begins with basic principles like betting, bluffing, and hand value hierarchy, essential for beginners before they join the pros. The guide also offers tips on hosting the perfect poker night, including the pros and cons of chips versus coins and food suggestions. It features interesting sidebars like famous poker hands in movies, trivia, and unspoken game rules, along with amusing profiles of typical poker personalities. The text is brought to life by acclaimed illustrator Phil Foglio’s stunning line drawings. Dealer’s Choice allows casual players to experience the thrill of the World Series of Poker at home, minus the hefty prize money, but with the added bonus of pizza and beer.
