There are many other poker games. I could write another volume on the wild-card games alone. Basically, the play is similar to the popular games so far discussed. Any good player will soon figure a new game to his advantage. Never get into a game that is new to you and play for high stakes. You could lose a fortune until you have the game analyzed. My greatest single contribution to your success as a poker player is the advice and knowledge about chicanery in a large majority of poker games. This was not written in this way to make a story. It is a fact. After many and varied associations with hustlers, both profitable and otherwise, I have formed an unshakable opinion--99 percent are the dregs of humanity. They would steal or cheat their own mothers. Honor and principle are words that have no meaning to them. Of all associations, only two ever proved trustworthy. These two are my friends to this day. And I am a friend of theirs. Anything I have, they can have. They are the same with me. The others, they would borrow money, never intending to pay back. They may hide the money that was to be split then claim we never won that amount. Many a good-paying partnership was broken off by me for these reasons. The greedy hustlers lost more by being left out of the action than was ever gained by chiseling me. If ever a hustling operation is exposed, you may bet your family jewels some jealous hustler has a finger of suspicion on it. Consequently, by my exposing the many and varied means of bilking the public, I do not believe I am doing harm to any deserving segment of society. This is my way of relieving my conscience for taking advantage of the very few of you who deserve sympathy. Perhaps, in some measure, I can return your losses by passing on the kind of information that will save or make money for you in the future. After all, if you are equally informed, who has the advantage?

In this “excellent fantasy debut, with engaging world-building and a good mix between action and character” (Brandon Sanderson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Stormlight Archive series), a story of secrets, rebellion, and murder are shattering the Hollows, where magic costs memory to use, and only the son of the kingdom’s despised traitor holds the truth. Michael is branded a traitor as a child because of the murder of the king’s nine-year-old son, by his father David Kingman. Ten years later on Michael lives a hardscrabble life, with his sister Gwen, performing crimes with his friends against minor royals in a weak attempt at striking back at the world that rejects him and his family. In a world where memory is the coin that pays for magic, Michael knows something is there in the hot white emptiness of his mind. So when the opportunity arrives to get folded back into court, via the most politically dangerous member of the kingdom’s royal council, Michael takes it, desperate to find a way back to his past. He discovers a royal family that is spiraling into a self-serving dictatorship as gun-wielding rebels clash magically trained militia. What the truth holds is a set of shocking revelations that will completely change the Hollows, if Michael and his friends and family can survive long enough to see it. In a “symphony of loyalty, greed, family, and betrayal” (Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Tempests and Slaughter) this spellbinding novel “creates a solid foundation for (hopefully) a much longer narrative to come” (Kirkus Reviews).

A JOHN DENSON MYSTERY John Denson, the Seattle private eye with a taste for screw-top wine and beautiful women, and his partner, Willie Prettybird, a shaman of the Cowlitz tribe, are up against their deadliest case: an engineered outbreak of anthrax in the Pacific Northwest that may kill hundreds of people, including John and Willie—unless they can locate the villain who's spreading the disease.
