Poker FictionEdit

Ground-breaking poker fiction novel "Damned Good" by JJ DeCeglie, published this summer by Fontaine Press

"It was in everything. The spoken jousting was scripted, the hands and faces sculpted, looking at hole cards was art here, clicking a view at the flop was a skill. The turn and river were tantamount to drawing guns on the others in the pot, stacking chips and pushing them onward was like firing your damned weapon across the table. Maiming left you wide open for a crown shot blasted right back at you. Precision was essential each move. Everyone here was an assassin. This was a place of mute and thunder like he’d never seen. You couldn’t move devoid of feeling it. He could nearly glimpse it. "
