"The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King"
Overview
This is a book that details the ultra-high-stakes heads-up hold'em matches between a wealthy Texas banker named Andy Beal and the best players the poker world has to offer. On and off for three years, Beal played a group of pros at stakes that ranged from $10k-20k all the way up to the biggest game ever spread, $100k-200k. The pros were organized by Doyle Brunson, and included Howard Lederer, Jennifer Harman, Chip Reese, Todd Brunson, Ted Forrest, Barry Greenstein, as well as several others.
Poker Advice
This book was not written to advise its readers on poker strategy. Yet, without meaning to, it does have some value as how one should approach heads-up limit hold'em. Beal wanted to play the best players in the world at stakes even they could not afford (unless they formed a team and pooled together their bankrolls to play him, which is preceisly what they did). Beal made several trips between the Bellagio in Las Vegas and his home in Dallas. This book details the events of these trips and is an absolute thrill to read.
