Do you know anyone who happily sits and watches people play poker on TV? There are critics out there who believe the hit ESPN show World Series of Poker and the Travel Channel's World Poker Tour are about as exciting as the World's Hair Receding Championships. Heh
Here's a Christmas gift hint if you do know someone like this. Positively Fifth Street by James McManus. The author went out to Vegas with the idea of doing a book about the World Poker Tour but found himself in the right place at the right time in terms of a high profile murder and playing poker himself. This is a good read with lots of surprises. It's been out a while so you can get it in paperback. You do know this Poker is Texas Hold em, don't you? Good. You can also buy gift sets for this game to be played at home.
