Product Description:
This instant classic relives the most incredible hands by the greatest poker player of all time. Great players, legends and unforgettable events in the history of poker march in and out of fifty years of momentous hands. Sit side-by-side with Doyle as he replays the excitement and life-changing moments of the most exciting and crucial hands in the history of poker—his early games as a rounder in the rough-and-tumble “Wild West” years where a man was as likely to get shot as he was to get a straight flush, to the nail-biting excitement of his two world championship titles.
Doyle brings to life the high stakes tension of sidestepping police, hijackers and murderers, competes for hands worth more than a million dollars, and sweats out situations where his last dollar relies on the outcome of a card. Engrossing, captivating, riveting, and ultimately, educational, this is a momentous and thrilling collection of great stories and sage poker advice from the living legend himself.

Rating: - Great book for the poker fan-atic in your life!
This is a review of _My 50 Most Memorable Hands_ by Doyle Brunson.
This book consists of a series of very short chapters (typically 2-3 pages) describing hands from all over Brunson's career, from a family game to the WSOP Main Event final table.

Rating: - Fast Easy Read
From the title you can tell that Doyle is going to give an acount of his most memorable hands and that is exactly what he does. He gives about a 2-3 page description of each entailing why the hand is memorable. Sometimes it is Doyle laying a bad beat on someone or someone dying at the table. I guess that would make a hand memorable for me too!
Obviously, this book is not technical. There is no hand analysis or percentages listed. Just a first hand account of some interesting poker hands ... Read More
