As a week of increasingly frenetic poker unfolds the stakes could not be higher, the outcome more uncertain. A family’s livelihood is threatened when the authorities impound their fishing boat. With Christmas approaching and debts mounting a race is on. While Alan struggles to make ends meet, his son Tommy travels to London where he has found a temporary job in a Knightsbridge department store. A chance meeting in the staff smoking room leads to a growing friendship with two students. Lilly is a ‘glamorous classicist more inclined to Versace than Virgil’. Nick, ex-army, is struggling to avoid being fired. Tommy has learnt his poker the hard way, would rather be good than lucky. At Lilly’s behest he agrees to give Nick some guidance in a deceptively simple game – Texas Hold’em. None foresees the excitement, exhilaration and exhaustion that await. Grunge and glamour, cash and comps, London’s vibrant and varied poker scene comes to life. Enjoy the jargon, appreciate the skill, feel the adrenalin surge. ‘I loved Unlucky – it’s a great poker novel’ Cindy Blake, novelist and poker player

By JAF Unlucky is a great read, with interesting characters and a fast-moving plot that includes humor and suspense. I am not a poker aficionado; nevertheless, the description of the card play was clear, understandable and exciting. I am sure that an experienced poker player would enjoy it as well. The characters are absolutely believable, engaging and worthy of the reader's care, and the dialog rings true and is sometimes sparkling. I really enjoyed reading this book. I hope that there will be more in the future!
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Slice of Poker Life By William Reich Unlucky is a very real slice of poker life. Set in England at the dawn of the poker boom, It starts out with the narrator getting involved in a game where the organizer has set the whole thing up for his own benefit. He deals every hand, "to keep the game moving," but there is no dealer button. The action starts right after the dealer and he is last to act on every street of every hand. This is such a huge advantage that it does not really matter if he is not above a bit of clumsy cheating as well, although he isn't. Those of you who have never played in private games might be astonished that people would play under such conditions.But the narrator plays and acquires a poker mentor, loses a girlfriend, gains another. The poker mentor gives him some good advice, some bad advice and their poker adventures and other adventures go beyond that original game.There is a real thread of English class relations and the narrator is on break from the U, so he isn't totally _immersed_ in the generally dingy world of London and nearby card rooms.
