I don't read books that have to do with sports often, but this has been a refreshing experience. I like how the ******* is built throughout the scenes, and the characters are likable and fascinating. I hope this story goes far.

Poker is not really entertaining if you watch it but this story makes it exciting. The mafia vibe, the pop culture references, and the flashbacks tie-up with the not so subtle explanations about poker. It's a very nice read, you would want to root for the MC and play poker yourself.

I don't like poker and have neither played it much. But this novel is still good because author somehow makes it so interesting and entertaining. I see a lot of potential in this story and if the author can increase his updation rate then it will easily reach higher ranking. I like the main character. Though one thing I feel confused about is why the MC can act verbally agressive with some people who are much stronger than him and are probably mobsters. Shouldn't he play safe, atleast until he's rich and powerful enough. But these things aside, I am enjoying this. I rarely read original novels and I'm thankful I found this. Good job, author.

Though I am still reading through the chapters. I highly recommend this book. The writing style is simple but descriptive when it needs to be. The main character is appealing from the start and the events have a great logical flow. I really hope the play of the game becomes more clear as I read on since I do not know the rules of the game. So far hasn’t been a problem with my reading experience. A great break from the usual novel concepts. Wish you all the best on completing your story.

I love the use of words and also the introduction of characters was done smoothly. Although, in Chapter 6 it got a bit clunky. A good read if you all are interested in 'Art of Unknown' deal as in using the fact the opponent doesn't know what you gonna do next.
