Hello poker friends!
I hope the new year is treating everyone well. I’ve been doing a lot of traveling for the WPT; Foxwoods, the Bahamas, Vegas, Atlantic City. Our 5 th season is going well and the fields miraculously keep growing. The next stop is our Los Angeles Invitational event coming up in a few weeks at the Commerce Casino. It’s where the big celebs play against the big names of poker and it’s always a fun event.
Speaking of fun, in just a few weeks (February 21 st) I have a book coming out that I think you’ll find interesting. It’s a poker novel that I co-wrote with mystery writer Rob Randisi. It’s a fictional story that takes place on the World Poker Tour. It shows the circuit I know - the one that makes you want to be there: The action, the money, the glamour of the poker world; the non-stop betting junkies and a ton of edgy, quirky characters you’ll truly get a kick out of. It’s a humorous look at this world and oh - and by the way, it’s a murder mystery as well. That’s right – strange things happen on the circuit and someone’s got to solve them. There are also cameo performances by most of the real life big names in poker and a few show business celebrities as well. Our Hollywood Poker buddy James Woods is in a renege and now you’ll know what the always hilarious James Woods sounds like to me at the poker tables. Warner Books is publishing and the reviews have been outstanding. I wouldn’t be touting it unless I was really proud of it - and I am. It is a quick fun read specialized for poker players and it should be sold at all the major markets. Or maybe you can buy it online at Hollywood Poker. We’re working out details with the publisher so hopefully that will work out as well.
Thanks for your time. Enjoy life and until next time, stay out of my pots!
