BIG DEAL: ONE YEAR AS A PROFESSIONAL POKER PLAYER

Book ID/图书代码： 07980005B02763

English Summary/英文概要： Big Deal is best–selling biographer Anthony Holden’s mesmerizing account of a year spent in the tough world of the professional poker player. Holden spent days and nights in Las Vegas, Malta, and Morocco, mingling with the greats, sharpening his game, perfecting his repartee, and learning a great deal about himself in the process. Poker, Holden would insist, is not gambling. Like chess, it is a paradigm of life at its most intense, a gladiatorial contest that brings out the best as well as the worst in people. Its heroes and eccentrics stalk the pages of this remarkable book, along with all the hair–raising, nail–biting excitement of the games themselves. A classic of the genre, Big Deal is reissued here with a new introduction by the author.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《没什么了不起》讲述了畅销传记作家Anthony Holden闯荡职业扑克牌玩家残酷世界的一年生活，故事引人入胜。他日日夜夜泡在扑克天堂拉斯维加斯，马耳他、摩洛哥，甚至还登上赌船与那些扑克传奇大亨们打成一片，就这样，他的扑克技术愈加娴熟，越发能言善辩，也开始慢慢重新认识了自己。 Holden认为扑克和赌博不一样，如果硬要把它比作什么的话，那么更像国际象棋，充其量也就是人生的楷模；一场可以充分突出人性的角斗比赛。扑克世界里的英雄、怪人和喜剧明星们都在《没什么了不起》中一一登场了，当然其中还少不了扑克牌本身带来的悚人和紧张经历。
