Is poker dangerous? Maybe, as we learn in the book. It has been written by someone who loves poker and who understands the very fibers of the game. What I enjoyed about this book was that it was for those people who loved poker. But this book gave me a fine exposure of what the game is. The crux of the matter is, that I’ve simply had no exposure to it. I’ve seen it on television and I’ve heard of my friends playing. Without reader support, I would have nothing.I’m not a poker player. If you’re reading this, then you’re supporting me in some kind of way. I would just like to think it so it keeps me motivated. However, there might be millions of people out there who would enjoy it. It was higher than usual, but what really caught my eye was this: Best Seller. I then went to Amazon to check the book’s ranking. Amazon chooses 1200 of 3.5 million books for this program, which is intended to help readers find quality books without having to spend hours searching. The sales were higher than normal and the borrows broke a record by far, which must have related to The Dark Side of the Felt being selected for Amazon Prime Reading. I immediately went to the Kindle Author page to check my sales and borrows. I woke up this morning and received a note from Amazon Kindle that there was a delay in their sales reports on the previous day.

This was in addition to not cashing in a poker tournament earlier in the day: 93rd of 260.

It was the only way not to feel depressed. I won’t reveal what I started writing, but my biggest fans should be happy about this project, and it’s not what you think. Last night, I didn’t know what to do, so I started writing. My Amazon Kindle sales yesterday: 0! I asked myself what happened. This wasn’t necessarily something I was happy about. Weird things were happening, such as the audio version of Twisted Sick outselling my poker-themed books. Sales had gone up over the past few months but then plateud. I had gone from feeling great for months to feeling like a delusional loser. I asked myself if I was wasting my time writing books. Yesterday’s sales were so bad that doubt crept into my mind.
