In this book the focus is on human relationships and what a poker player's girlfriend has to go through. This is true story and real-life situations.
As the author herself says, poker has changed her life beyond recognition and This story is in no way inspiring or a reason to move forward. This is a painful truth and a painful experience that took place several years ago. It is a great shame, the author said, which is probably why she did not reveal her real name or that of her other half.
The book makes tangible the pressing issues that poker players face: tilt, finding funding, not being able to call, depression, addiction... Poker is not as simple a game as it may seem at first glance, and it is not only the players who face all these challenges, but also their families.
Although the first part of the book may be difficult to read for some, the the further the book goes, the more engaging and rewarding it becomes. It should appeal not only to people in the poker world and their relatives, but also to outsiders who want a glimpse of the situations that can arise when living with a poker player. We say can because this scenario is certainly not to everyone's liking, and perhaps this story is the only one.
