Anthony Holden's list

Anthony Holden is the author of Bigger Deal: A Year Inside the Poker Boom. He contributed "The List" to The Week magazine last week.

One of his titles:

Shut Up and Deal by Jesse May

Before giving up the game and turning TV commentator several years ago, May wrote the finest poker novel since Richard Jessup’s The Cincinnati Kid. As Mickey navigates through the shark-infested waters of the card rooms, you learn as much about luck as about life.
