The Official Dictionary of Poker, compiled by Michael Wiesenberg, is a completely updated and revised edition of his previously titled Poker Talk: A Complete Guide to the Vocabulary of Poker. It contains the entire spectrum of poker terminology, from the common ("Texas hold ’em") to the obscure ("Dewey Duck"), illustrated by thousands of colorful examples actually heard in cardrooms. If you’ve ever wondered about the correct way to use a poker term or were bewildered by what your poker-playing cohorts were saying, here’s the one book that explains it all. Not only will you find The Official Dictionary of Poker valuable as a reference, you will return to it frequently as a fun read.
Poker is fast becoming one of the most popular pasttimes, and is enriching the English language with its esoteric vocabulary. Most of us understand "ante up," "playing close to the vest," and "dead man’s hand." But, how about a "double belly-buster," an "Elmer," or a "juice joint"? All of these terms, and several hundreds more, are defined in this book with wit and precision by an author who has obviously spent many hours at the poker table with his ears open. He also gives examples of how the terms are used in real poker table talk. Read this book, and you’ll talk like the most experienced poker pro, even of you still play like an Elmer.
Michael Wiesenberg has been a Card Player columnist since the inception of the magazine and also had a regular column in Poker Player. Wiesenberg ranks among today’s most prolific and respected poker authorities.
