"I always felt a major drawback to poker-strategy books was their density and seriousness; many read like text-books. But in his Poker Diaries, Andrew combines storytelling and his personal experience with thoughts on strategy, and let's the reader enjoy himself while he learns how to play tournament poker."

-Tony Dunst, professional poker player and host of the World Poker Tour's Raw Deal



"Brokos' first book is compelling, well-written, and most importantly, educational. Brokos takes the ebb and flow of a poker tournament, and the players he encounters, and puts it all into a dramatic, coherent narrative."

-Zachary Elwood, author of Reading Poker Tells and Verbal Poker Tells
