Rezensionen / Stimmen
" The Pursuit of Poker Success isn't laden with poker terminology or in-depth strategic discussion, but the nuggets of wisdom provided throughout will prove invaluable to pretty much anyone, poker player or non-poker player. --- In that respect, The Pursuit of Poker Success is the rarest of rare, a poker book that will appeal to poker players, as well as people who don't know if a flush beats a straight, since some of the advice/discussion is transferable to other walks of life. ----- "Lance Bradley has been a mainstay in the poker industry for many years now and not only earned the respect of his peers, but the players as well. It's for this reason, that the best players in the game felt comfortable sharing their personal stories of success with him." --- Daniel Negreanu ----- "Lance Bradley is one of the most insightful writers in the poker community. I've known Lance for ten years and throughout that time he's always been a consummate professional while producing unique and interesting content for nearly every major poker outlet. I can't think of a journalist better suited to explore what it takes to be successful in our game." Jason Somerville ----- "Lance Bradley has been a staple of the poker industry for over a decade. His knowledge of the industry and its players is unparalleled and the content he produces is always a must-read." --- Chris Moorman
