I said to myself, ' Wow, I never heard of people who can’t play poker.' I have seen on television how people play poker. I don’t have any knowledge or rules on how poker works. I have witnessed Cosine, but I have never been to Las Vegas because I am located in Canada, and the United States is far from my house, making it a long drive. I decided to buy this audiobook to get a clear understanding of how the players think and do their magic. It looks fun and exciting.
