Publisher's Summary
Nolan Dalla was commissioned by Ungar in 1998 to pen his story, resulting in hundreds of hours of taped interviews and conversations. The result is the startling tale of a man who won at his game and lost control of his life.
Notorious for gambling every single dollar in his pocket, Ungar won an estimated $30 million in his lifetime, but when he was found dead in a Las Vegas motel at the age of 45, he had only $800 in cash on his person, with no bank account or home address.
What the critics say
"A fascinating, cautionary tale." ( Chicago Tribune)
"A standout among this year's bumper crop of poker books." ( New York magazine)

Much better than I thought
Well written book with a lot of insight into a genius mind belonging to a troubled person. Worthy read for anyone, valuable read for a card player.

Probably ok
I like random biographies about people whose lives are different from mine, but I lost interest, and stopped half way through. It’s well written, but eventually got mired in poker details I didn’t grasp or really care about. You might enjoy it if you like gambling.
