About the author
Arnold Snyder
82 books7 followersI’ve been writing nonfiction for more than thirty years, mostly books about professional gambling, and most challenging the conventional wisdom on how to beat blackjack or poker games. The reason I wrote these books was because I was actively making a living playing blackjack and poker, and it drove me crazy to see "experts" who didn't play putting out bad information for newbies.
I published and edited a trade journal for professional gamblers, Blackjack Forum, for more than twenty years. In 2002, I was inducted into the Blackjack Hall of Fame.
I’ve also written three books on how to solve Sudoku puzzles. Those came out of working Sudoku puzzles whenever I got stuck in another writing project.
In 2009, I wrote a book called Topless Vegas that reviews all of the strip clubs and topless shows in Las Vegas, which I update online every few months or so. Gotta keep current with this all-important cultural scene. (Yes, this is culture in Las Vegas, and yes, I get paid for this.)
Indisputably, I’m a whore. I’ll write just about anything if you pay me. (But that “just about” is significant. I’d split an infinitive before I’d ever write speeches for politicians. I have some standards.)
I recently finished writing my first novel, Risk of Ruin, which will be published by Vegas Lit, a new fiction imprint of Huntington Press, on September 30, 2012. (Actually, it's my forty-first published novel, but the first forty--all pseudonymous hack fiction--have happily disappeared from the face of the earth.) It's about a biker tattoo artist professional blackjack player who becomes obsessed with a stripper who believes she's God.

This is the best book I've read about the right way to play in bigger buy-in poker tournaments. Ones that cost $1000 or more to buy-in, like the World Series of Poker tournaments. Buy this and "The Book of Bluffs" by Matt Lessinger and you'll have a solid base of knowledge to get you started.

Following up on the first book, this just reinforced a lot of the same examples from the first
