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.
