Reilly, the Blogfather of Poker, GuinnessandPoker.com'Told with authenticity and the knowledge that only a true road gambler could possess . a book that you will love . a highly enjoyable read.' -Anthony Kelly, editor-in-chief, Player Europe magazine. Dublin.'Cryptic, dark. Irrefutably unique. Elliptical euphemism and metaphor are (Hughes’s) tools. Gambling folklore and parables abound. All told with a twinkle in the eye and one finger on the trigger ... Johnny writes evasively, challenging us to refute, compelling us to believe.' -James Dodd, a.k.a. Tetuso, Bet-the-Pot.com.
