Read MoreEarlier this week, I promised to explain my reasoning for THE TOP TEN MOST IMPORTANT POKER BOOKS EVER WRITTEN AND WHY THEY’RE ESSENTIAL.
Today’s video does precisely that.
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.

Read MoreAfter reviewing the many books I’ve read over the years (and I think I’ve covered all the major titles), here’s my list of the most important non-fiction books ever written about poker.
The typical “Poker Night in America” production meeting.
Read MoreWe just completed our fourth “Poker Night in America” television shoot, this time at Maryland Live Casino. It’s located about halfway between Washington, DC, and Baltimore, MD.
Although I spent 12 years in the area — this was a new experience for me. Back when I lived here, more than a decade ago, there were no legal casinos. There were no public poker rooms. Every poker player who lived in the National Capitol area was forced to commute up to Atlantic City (three hours away), usually on weekends.
Well, times have changed.
Read MoreThe name Avi Rubin isn’t likely to ring any bells. That is unless you’re familiar with the specialized field of advanced computer systems and network security. Then, his name triggers alarm bells. Perhaps even a giant gong.
Rubin is a Professor of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. He’s one of the world’s foremost authorities on what’s commonly known as “hacking.” Although most people don’t know his name — which is all perfectly fine with Rubin — he’s one of those rare individuals who really does “make a difference” in our society. He impacts each of our lives in many ways on a daily basis, even though very few among us could identify him in a crowd.
