In this book, the greatest focus is on human relationships and what a poker player's girlfriend has to endure. It is a true story and real-life situations.
As the author herself states, poker has changed her life beyond recognition and this story is by no means inspiring or motivating. It is a painful truth and an unpleasant experience that was lived through a few years ago. It is a great shame, the author mentioned, probably for this reason, she did not reveal the real names of herself or her partner.
The book touches on pressing issues faced by poker players: tilting, seeking funding, inability to profit, depression, addiction… Poker is not as simple a game as it may sometimes seem at first glance, and all these challenges are faced not only by the players but also by their loved ones.
Although the first part of the book may be difficult for some to read, the further you go, the more engaging and better the book becomes. It should appeal not only to representatives of the poker world and their loved ones but also to outsiders who want to take a peek at the situations that can arise when living with a poker player. We say can arise because such a scenario does not happen to everyone; perhaps this story is unique.
