the long version

This classic is not only a poker playing manual, but a marvelous autobiography. First published in 1957, Yardley, also the first chief of the US code breakers during WW1, recalls countless poker games with characters ranging from railroad men, traveling salesmen, speculators, drunks, and even secret agents, all seen across the green baize tables of the world.
