DALTON TRUMBO recommended that HIS SON read only TWO BOOKS
ONE WAS ON POKER, THE OTHER ON SEXDalton Trumbo said in this documentary that I just watched last week that
"a boy only needed two books," and neither was the Bible. "THE EDUCATION OF
A POKER PLAYER" was the first by Secret Agent Herbert O. Yardley and Sex
without Guilt by Albert Ellishttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Yardley
Yardley was a fascinating man. Read the wiki page on him, find the book
used http://home.earthlink.net/~anitaastrologer/howtoorder.htm and start
your career in poker. Hey, There are worse things to do in a recession.WHO KNEW that 7 card stud was way more costly than other types of poker cuz
of the many calls and all..Professor Yadley says that one had to STOP EVEN HOPING when playing it and just drop
the heck out if you ONLY had two of a kind ---even if two queens ---quit on the draw,
the second your next card isn't a queen. Or as Yardley calls it' if your hand isn't improved.'
He teaches rules I NEVER KNEW. One after the other.Stresses the importance of 'tells,' too. He talks at length about his years
as a code breaker for the Army espec. in China when we supported Chaing
Kai Shek and how dopey the Chinese must be. "NEVER SHOW YOUR
DISCARDS." is one of his major rules, Well the Chinese gamblers threw
'em out right side up. ARE THEY CRAZY? (haha! OH BOY! Tell that to the State Department!)Reading just a few paragraphs you really get all the niceties of the game.
Well, not niceties exactly, but THE CLEVER RULES of TAKING YOUR FELLOW
PLAYERS FOR ALL THE MONEY IN THEIR WALLETS!<=== BACK TO THE MONEY INDEX PAGE, SECRETS OF STALKING THE GREENBACK
