Default Winning Secrets of Poker

I've bought and read over 20 books on poker since I got to Iraq.
I just thought I'd post about the "winning secrets of poker" by Peter Thomas Fornatale.

Basically this whole book is nothing but interviews with some of the more notable player in the game today. It talks about a lot of subjects from Late night poker in the UK Phil hellmuths experiences in the NBC heads up tournaments

David Sklansky's interview is great as he goes off on a rampage about other players

Then the author tells the other interviewee's about some of the other players comments.

DAnial Negranau then goes off on a tear about Sklansky

Some of the interviewee's talk about their strategys and some of them will not quoting "Why should I help others get better so they can take my money"

If your looking for a book that has a ton of strategy, tidbits, equations then it's not for you.
But if your looking for a GREAT read with up's down's and personal insights from some of the worlds "top" players then I would suggest this book purely on it's entertainment values it is the best read i've had in a while and a nice surprise.
Hellmuths is the best just because of his "The whole world is against me interview" heh heh Later all
