Getting the Best of It is David's personal favorites among his work. It's a very basic book, covering some poker, some general gambling, some biographical stuff about David. It's his attempt to convey the idea of how to get an edge in a gamble. He does a pretty good job of it. A really good book selection for beginning gamblers. I have a signed edition, it was a gift from David. |

If you're relatively new to poker and don't have any background in mathematics then you might be better with a more basic book on simple probability applications to gambling like Sklansky's Getting the Best of It

I am reading along that "Ghosts at the Table"
The author concludes "he [Doyle] has survived on the front line of poker for fifty years while maintaining a reputation for being straight-it's doubtful he could have done that unless he was." 162
And get well soon
Doyle learned a very long time ago that the road to riches was getting invited to the right games.
I've never even heard rumors that Jimmy Chagra might have been cheated and the rumors I've heard about Major Riddle being cheated mostly come from people who don't understand how badly a really bad poker player can play.
As I read older writings I noticed that almost no one bothers differentiates between outright cheating, collusion or just building a game around someone and softplaying each other. The older players probably think that it would be asinine to draw the disntinctions that I do.
