This blog's never had all that many readers, but if you've been wondering where I've been, you're going to be disappointed and pleased by this post. You'll be disappointed because I'm not going to explain my hiatus from posting. You'll be pleased because I'm back, and I plan to start updating this humble Texas hold'em blog on a regular basis again.
So what's been going on? I've been catching up on some of my reading lately. I've been working on reading The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King again. This one was written by Michael Craig, who also does a little bit of poker blogging here and there. It's an interesting story, even though it happened quite a while back now.
The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King was published in 2005. It tells the story of eccentric Texas billionaire Andrew Beal, who became interested in Texas hold'em and played some of the highest stakes games in the history of the game. In fact, he played for stakes that were so high, the world's greatest poker pro's pooled their money in order to play against him. It's a great read, and it gives you some insight into how the minds of poker pros like Howard Lederer, Doyle Brunson, and Jennifer Harman work.
You can read a good review of The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King at Dad's Poker Blog. (No, he's not my daddy--that's just the name of the poker blog.)
