Thanks to @ppapoker for leading me to a CardPlayer article about Phil Hellmuth’s new book, Deal Me In. The article entitled, Deal Me In — Poker Pro Daniel Negreanu: An Exclusive Excerpt from Phil Hellmuth’s New Book, was written by Stephen A. Murphy.
Mr. Murphy says,
“Deal Me In, a collection of autobiographical accounts from many of poker’s elite, is now available to order online exclusively at www.pokerbrat.com. The book highlights the struggles, obstacles, and tragedies that 20 of the greatest poker pros have overcome in their journeys to the top.”
Mr. Murphy continues the article with the excerpt from Daniel Negreanu’s story. I enjoyed that. Clicked over to this other CardPlayer article by Mr. Murphy from May 2009, Hellmuth’s New Poker Book Profiles the Game’s Greats. Mr. Murphy quotes Hellmuth as saying,
“Each player gives you a behind-the-scenes look into their early years as scrappy, amateur players and how they broke into the big-time professional ranks,” said Hellmuth. “The pros cover their humble beginnings, the obstacles they overcame, the demons they faces, and ultimately the success they enjoyed.”
I looked at the names of the poker pros who were included in the book, then hopped over to the Poker Brat’s store and purchased a copy.
The poker pros who contributed (in alphabetical order) are:
- Chad Brown
- Doyle Brunson
- Johnny Chan
- Allen Cunningham
- Annie Duke

- Erik Seidel
- David ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott
Great reading for my plane ride to Las Vegas in November. I’m looking forward to seeing lucky #13 playing at the WSOP Main Event Final Table:-)! I’ll post a book review when I’m done.
