A Feel Good Poker Book

Each entry made me smile, made me feel good inside. This could very well have been titled Chicken Soup for the Poker Soul. The big bluffs, the great calls, the monster laydowns; even bad beats made the list (read the book to find out why). Not the best book for poker tutorial, but a great book for leisure reading as it reveals the human side of the poker pros.
