[Hughes] brings the legends of the past and present to life and often provides the very best portrait of these unique, real-life characters of anyone on record." - Nolan Dalla , media director, World Series of Poker, best-selling author and columnist for Card Player"Johnny Hughes's poker stories are a national treasure . hilarious stories and colorful characters . timeless classics . the stuff of history . one of my all-time favorite poker writers."- Iggy , a.k.a. Ignatius J. Reilly, the Blogfather of Poker, GuinnessandPoker.com"Told with authenticity and the knowledge that only a true road gambler could possess . a book that you will love . a highly enjoyable read."- Anthony Kelly , editor-in-chief, Player Europe magazine. Dublin."Cryptic, dark. Irrefutably unique. Elliptical euphemism and metaphor are (Hughes's) tools. Gambling folklore and parables abound. All told with a twinkle in the eye and one finger on the trigger ... Johnny writes evasively, challenging us to refute, compelling us to believe."- James Dodd , a.k.a. Tetuso, Bet-the-Pot.com. London.
