Once the exclusive game of Las Vegas high-rollers and serious gambling men, poker is now wildly popular in living rooms across America. A nine-time winner of the WSOP bracelet, Phil Hellmuth, Jr., has been a poker insider for over the last 18 years. Over the course of his celebrated career, he has played, beat, and been astounded and foiled by a striking array of hands. Building on his bestseller, Play Like the Pros, he now reveals the secrets of making tough decisions, audacious bluffs, and incredible calls-based on the bold moves of his renowned peers and rivals. Eye-opening, entertaining, and instructive, Bad Beats and Lucky Draws talks about dozens of key hands-including some terribly weird and truly rotten ones-within the context of the illustrious settings where they were played. Hellmuth devotes a full chapter to dissecting hands he witnessed-or played in-at the most prestigious tournament of our time, the World Series of Poker. He also shares highlights from the World Poker Tour and European Poker Tour championships. Packed with blow-by-blow accounts of heart-pounding matches, penetrating analysis of brilliant matches, this book features memorable hands from the pros, `Celebrity Hands', chapters spotlighting `Clash of the Titans', and Hellmuths personal tribute to `Cheesehead Poker'-where he revisits his early playing days prior to his first win in the WSOP. Throughout, photos and candid, insiders anecdotes open a fascinating window into the philosophies and personalities of some of the greatest living masters of the game. 256 pages, paper bound. 2004.
