Reviews
"Engaging...Holden has an endearing way of letting the reader into his head,turning descriptions of botched or brilliant poker hands into page-turning mini-narratives, discussing his mental demons and romantic travails in disarmingdetail. You can't help rooting for him."--Susan Casey,The New York Times Book Review, ""Bigger Deal" will make nonprofessional poker addicts feel personally understood in ways no other book has ever managed to do. It has everything: wide cultural scope, poker table minutiae, success, failure, pain, Mozart operas sharing pages with telling analyses of flop texture, even more intercontinental action than its famous predecessor, and best of all, perspective on the Boom. No, best of all is the writing." -- James McManus, author of "Positively Fifth Street", "An epic tour of the strange new world of global poker-- on-line and on TV as well as in casinos and back rooms-- full of jostling egos, bad beats, improbable runs of luck, and written by a true believer."--Al Alvarez, author ofThe Biggest Game in Town, "An epic tour of the strange new world of global poker-- on-line and on TV as well as in casinos and back rooms-- full of jostling egos, bad beats, improbable runs of luck, and written by a true believer." --Al Alvarez, author of "The Biggest Game in Town", "Bigger Dealwill make nonprofessional poker addicts feel personally understood in ways no other book has ever managed to do.

Synopsis
In the years since Anthony Holden wrote his classic memoir "Big Deal," the poker world has changed beyond recognition. When Holden played in the 1988 World Series of Poker there were 167 starters competing for a prize of $270,000. Since then, poker has become the world's largest single-competitor sport -- at the 2006 World Series there were almost 9,000 players and a first prize of $12 million, the richest in any sport. What happened in the years between "Big Deal" and "Bigger Deal" could never have been predicted: the Internet and television sparked a worldwide explosion in the popularity of poker, one that shows no sign of abating. Poker even has a respectable image these days, much to the disgust of die-hard players. Gone are the seedy rooms of the Horseshoe -- you can't even smoke at the table! -- and you're more likely to find yourself head to head with a film star than an ex-con in Las Vegas. With the future of online poker now legally endangered in the United States, Holden's vision of the poker boom comes at a critical moment in the game's history. In "Bigger Deal," Holden is your guide to the world of the "new" poker -- to the players who dominate the modern game and the personalities behind the multibillion-dollar business it has become -- as he tries once again to win the world title. After all, as Telly Savalas once reminded Holden, a million dollars is never irrelevant. Not to mention twelve..., In the years since Anthony Holden wrote his classic memoirBig Deal,the poker world has changed beyond recognition.
