Non-Fiction Poker Books that Missed the Cut (“Talking Points with Nolan Dalla”)

Brain

 

Yesterday, I posted a list of (what I believe to be) the most important poker books ever written.

Unfortunately, several worthy non-fiction narrative contenders weren’t mentioned and missed the cut.

So today, I’m going to rectify that, at least in part, with a video blog (vlog) on some other poker books which merit consideration.

This is Part 1 of 2 in a continuation of the (weekly) video series called “Talking Points.”  The next part will be a more in-depth discussion of why I listed the books ranked 1 through 10.

Obviously, this entire discussion is unscripted.  I even make a few errors (twice calling Herbert O. Yardley, “Edward O. Yardley” by mistake).

Oh, and for the record — my co-star in this video is Johnny Walker Black and soda, with a heavy splash of Italian Volcano (lemon).

Here’s the latest video, which runs for about 23 minutes.

Tony Korfman’s Poker Book

 

tony-korfman

 

Tony Korfman’s poker book has been sitting on the bottom shelf of my office library for almost five years, gathering dust.

Make that Korfman’s two books.  For some reason, two copies were sent to me — unsolicited.  He either really, really wanted me to write a book review.  Or, his agent is a royal screw-up.

Wait, Tony Korfman has an agent?

Holy shit.
