I believe I have Sklansky's Theory of No Limit Holdem somewhere. At least I think its mine (I recall giving Quozl back his...)

Positively Fifth Street is supposed to be good if you will loan it out to me!

I have Big Deal. Would be interested in Amarillo Slim's book but I'm happy to loan it out without a swap.

Eh, technically I have it at this current moment, will return it next time I see you though! sorry tis a great book though.

BigDragon

Right....

DeV. I'll bring Positively Fifth Street down for you tonight as I know you're not there tomorrow.

Spiritus. I've just realised my brother has Slim's book but I'm getting it back on Saturday and I will bring it with me on Saturday night.

Musician. I would like to borrow Big Deal from you when you get it back!! You can have Slim when Spiritus is finished with it.

How's that?

Anyone know if there was a book published about Phil Hellmuth called "Poker Brat"? I heard of it on some DVD but can't find it on the net. The man's a loon and I'd love to read his story.

Cheers

Sh1t, didn't know Andy Glazer killed himself. Heard the name alot and is mentioned in McManus's book alot. In, fact that's where I heard of the book.

Hector. do you know if there any sites out there with writings from Glazer?

One of the last tournaments he covered was the large Pot limit tournament the merrion held, his last article said it was a farce.
