Now, having just turned the incomprehensible (to him) age of fifty, and staring down his own mortality, this rambling- gambling bachelor decides it's time to settle down. After years of equivocating, he pops the question to his longtime girlfriend. A wedding date is set for just after Labor Day, and to pay for it, a plan is hatched involving poker and a trip to Vegas. Alson boards a plane bound for the neon desert on his way to the biggest game in town, the 2005 World Series of Poker. Thus begins Take Me to the River, a first-person account of one inveterate gambler and bad boy's quest to grow up while at the same time compete with more than 5,000 players vying for over $56 million in prize money during a scorching Vegas summer. Take Me to the River is a hilarious, heart-wrenching tale of Las Vegas and an exploration of what it means to be part of one of the fastest-growing and most popular sports in the United States, at the moment of its apogee, and of the lessons that poker has to teach about probability and luck, good and bad fortune, patience, perseverance, and - most fitting for a man with marriage in his near future - commitment. \"I finished the Peter Alson book, Take Me to the River. I have to say, it is a ... great book. I highly recommend it once it's out in stores. I also will probably read the other books from Atria. It's refreshing to read a poker book that is about the game, but not about how to play the game. I'm still feeling like the how to books are not really in my best interest right now. Really though, it's just that those How To books just don't keep my interest long enough to be useful, and I half-adopt their ideas, hurting my usual game.\" - High on Poker Blog Site\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product__accordion accordion quick-add-hidden\" style=\"background-color: #edeae3;\"\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"Details-collapsible_tab_1\"\u003e\u003csummary role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_1\" class=\"accordion__summary\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"summary__title flex\" style=\"padding: 0 2rem 0 2rem;\"\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"accordion__title inline-richtext\" style=\"line-height: 2.5rem;\"\u003eData om boken\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csvg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-caret\" viewbox=\"0 0 10 6\"\u003e\u003cpath fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.354.646a.5.5 0 00-.708 0L5 4.293 1.354.646a.5.5 0 00-.708.708l4 4a.5.5 0 00.708 0l4-4a.5.5 0 000-.708z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content rte\" id=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_1\" style=\"padding: 0 2rem 0 2rem;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBindning:\u003c\/b\u003e Förlagsband. 8:o (165x241 mm)\u003cb\u003eÅr:\u003c\/b\u003e Utg. 2006. \u003cb\u003eOmfång:\u003c\/b\u003e 290 s. \u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743288361. \u003cb\u003eSpråk:\u003c\/b\u003e Engelska\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Alson+Peter\"\u003eAlson, Peter\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Take+Me+to+the+River\"\u003eTake Me to the River\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUndertitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:A+Wayward+and+Perilous+Journey+to+the+World+Series+of+Poker\"\u003eA Wayward and Perilous Journey to the World Series of Poker\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:Anv%C3%A4nd+81764\/New+Leaf+Distributing+Company\"\u003eAnvänd 81764\/New Leaf Distributing Company\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 143186239\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=tag:Övrigt%2B%2BPoker%2BMemoir'\"\u003ePoker Memoir\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHitta fler liknande böcker med dessa ämnesord:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=tag:Poker'\"\u003ePoker\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=tag:Las%2BVegas'\"\u003eLas Vegas\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=tag:Äventyr'\"\u003eÄventyr\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=tag:Självutveckling'\"\u003eSjälvutveckling\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=tag:Humor'\"\u003eHumor\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Alson%2BPeter%2BTake%2BMe%2Bto%2Bthe%2BRiver'\"\u003eSök fler exemplar av denna bok\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Peter%2BAlson'\"\u003eFler böcker av Peter Alson\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Använd 81764\/New Leaf Distributing Company","offers":[{"title":"Ny bok \/ Förlagsband","offer_id":44405249638667,"sku":"143186239","price":278.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8856\/1163\/files\/143186239_ae3d4021-e5bc-40af-854d-b1288e5c92b4.jpg?v=1741841196","url":"https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/products\/143186239","provider":"bok.hstrom.se | Antikvariat \u0026 Bokhandel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
