Hi Everyone:
Authors/Publishers sometimes send me a copy of their book to read and over the years I have a number of these piled uo on my desk. But I do get to them every now and then. One of the books
KingKrab: The Degenerate Journey: From Homeless to Poker Pro by KingKrab I recently started to read and are almost half-way through.
Generally, when I pick up a book like this, I'll quit after a few pages quickly concluding that it's a waste of time. But this book is a little different, and so far, I've found many aspects of the narrative quite interesting.
For those who don't know, it's the story of a player who refers to himself as KingKrab, and who has a lot of drug/depression related problems in addition to being homeless some of the time. So the book is fairly negative, more so than I think it needs to be, and also in my opinion has too many four letter words. But on the other hand, there's a lot in here that's worth reading, including descriptions of his opponents, some of his hand strategies, and how he feels many of his opponents view him as a player, and what he needs to do to win in the low stakes no-limit games that he plays in.
So based on what I've read so far, this book would get an 8 on my 1 to 10 scale which means I do recommend it.
And for those interested, here's the Amazon link:
