Book excerpt: How to play real poker with your friends - without creating enemies! The definitive guide to the classic, dealer’s choice, “friendly poker” game played and loved by tens of millions of Americans for the camaraderie, thrill and raucous good times it produces. This is not a book on how to calculate odds or win money from strangers. It is a book on how you make your friendly game more enjoyable and entertaining as you play with your gang of regular poker buddies through the years. • Practical guidelines for establishing the best atmosphere for the game. Recommendations for types and numbers of players, degree of formality, size of the stakes, table talk, pacing of the game, furniture, equipment, music, lighting, distractions, food and drink, invitations, scheduling and many other key factors. • Big-picture discussions of what poker is all about (bragging rights, not money), why poker is worthy of our time and attention, the unique attributes of the game, and how poker skills beneficially translate the “real world.” • Introduction of several amazingly good games that have never been previously published. Respectable, no wild-card, skill-oriented poker games proven to reward skill and create real challenge. • Descriptions of over fifty of the best and most popular dealer’s choice games, classified by skill level, size of pot, complexity, and good starting and ending cards. And a summary chart of the games and ratings to help you choose what to deal next. • A full set of clear, consistent and well-tested “House Rules” with explanations to allow you to make informed choices as you establish your own “House Rules.” • Introduction of a sophisticated new “Poverty Poker” or loss-limitation system for the group, proven to keep a regular poker game both ruthlessly competitive and completely friendly. • A summary of basic poker strategies and skill levels that can be used to teach the inexperienced players to effectively compete, thereby raising the challenge and enjoyment for your whole group. • A collection of wise, funny, and informative quotes from the 200 years of poker in America.

Book excerpt: John Patrick's Casino Poker is a book for anyone who has enjoyed a friendly game at home, yet wishes to test his skill against varied (and hitherto unknown) opponents. The book is not for the novice or the high-stakes professional. It is meant for the intermediate player, instructing him in the skills required to "know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em", how to watch for "tells" in other players, and how to keep from offering a tell. The book concentrates on "reading" your opponents' play style as well as on self-discipline and money management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the rise and increased acceptance of gambling in America, particularly the growth of the game of poker, as a means for examining changes to the American Dream and the risk society. Poker both critiques and reinterprets the myth of the American Dream, putting greater emphasis on the importance of luck and risk management while deemphasizing the importance of honesty and hard work. Duncan discusses the history of gambling in America, changes to the rhetoric surrounding gambling, the depiction of poker in the Wild West as portrayed in film, its recent rise in popularity on television, its current place in post-modern America on the internet, and future implications.

The volume also includes an introductory chapter by the editors which provides an overview of the history of and current state-of-the-art in the field. Together with introductions to each section, discussion questions and suggestions for further reading, make the volume ideal reading for senior undergraduate and graduate students interested in group dynamics.
