Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Interesting Insight into Doyle Brunson
This book is a collection of anecdotes told by Doyle Brunson. I really like his candid stories and the insight into Dolye's character. While not meant to teach you any specific poker strategies, this book will tell you about players' emotional characteristics and how they affect their games. I intend to re-read this book several times over the years.
Rating: - Extremely interesting
Don't buy this book if you are looking for mysterious insights that will improve your Hold Em' game--but if you want to learn something about what makes Doyle Bruson tick it is a fascinating read. Brunson does impart some tips on play, but he then goes on to tell a "war story" to illustrate his point, and it is these glimpses into his life that are so entertaining.

Rating:  - Useless
If you are interested in Doyle's life and various poker exploits in his younger days this book is for you. If you are looking for insight or anything helpful to improve your game go somewhere else.
Rating:  - Interesting stories and anecdotes, but that's it
First off, this book is over 20 years old. This is a repackaging and as far as I can tell, there isn't any new material. In other words, there is zero mention of the poker stars of today. You'll probably only recognize one other character in his book (Amarillo Slim). If you don't mind that, then keep reading...
This book is a collection of articles that Doyle wrote about his early days playing poker in Texas. There are some funny and interesting stories about himself and some of the ... Read More
Rating: - Just like Doyle, one of the best
I really enjoyed this book. What makes it different from other books is that with stratrgical books, you need to have your brain on, but with this, you can just sit back, relax, and read the stories of the Godfather of Poker.
A must for any poker fanatic
