by Al Alvarez (Author)
Depicts a subculture rich with legend - from the no-limits Hold'em game to the late 20th-century World Championships in Las Vegas. Its terminology underpins modern life: Alvarez tells us passing the buck came from the baize table, as did bluff , above board , and something up your sleeve .
