Spanier goes beyond the typical explanations of analysis, tactics, and bluffing, so necessary in a book about winning at the game. Instead, he looks at the application of these poker elements in the larger picture of life, such as the "poker game" of Khrushchev during the Cuban missile crisis, presidential poker, professional poker, and how the rules of poker are the same as the rules of life. Or, as Walter Matthau wrote on the cover, "The game of poker exemplifies the worst aspects of capitalism that have made our country so great." 250 pages plus index, paperbound, 2002.
