Title: Entertaining read
Review: In the poker world, stories about Andy Beal and his huge game with a syndicate of top pros have taken on a life of their own. The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King details these games.The book is a good read. There isn't much discussion of the actual poker hands played, which may disappoint some readers. Instead Craig focuses on the backgrounds & motivations of the individual players and the results of the games (millions won and lost). Craig's hard work to provide accurate results for the various sessions is a welcome contrast to previous inaccurate journalism on the Beal games. It's unfortunate that Craig wrote the book before the final sessions between Beal and "the company" occurred. As a result, the book stops somewhat mid-action.This book ultimately isn't very deep, but if you're a poker player you'll probably find it an entertaining evening's read. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't play poker.
