Poker Nation

Anyone read "Poker Nation" by Andy Bellin? Its a good summary of lots of poker thoughts, etc. Picked it up at the library this weekend and its a pretty good read.

There's one hand in there that matches

He has pocket 5's so i am beating him, he rivers 4 of a kind 5's to beat me. Was in a tournament and it knocked me out in 4th or 5th place was absolutely gutted. He has 1 out on the river and hit it. Cant think how u can get a worse beat than that.

Exact scenario, except the guy who wrote the book at pocket Js and it was a high stakes game. Its in a chapter about tilting.

If you liked "Rounders" you'll like this book.
