"Excellent book a little bit of hype but a definite asset to your library. SOlid info with a lot of bragging and casino romance. Tip When training for flashes it is best to have some one stand twenty feet away and slowly show you card by card then speed up to practice. use different cards Gemaco and Bee casino cars are best to use. Learn the patterns."

Side bets?

"Lots of material out there. Grosjean has a lot on side bets and the Mayor is the leading exponent of the LL side bet. Most side bets are difficult to use."
