From Publishers Weekly
Begun as an as-told-to by Dalla with Stuey Ungar, this biography tells in painful detail the story of the poker and gin superstar. Ungar is certainly a fascinating subject. He was prodigiously dysfunctional, a manic sports bettor and cocaine addict who won an estimated $30 million during his life, but who, after his death in 1998, needed a collection from his friends to pay for his funeral. Unfortunately, the complexities of Ungar’s personality aren’t satisfactorily unraveled by the authors. They offer stories from the likes of poker legend Doyle Brunson and Mike Sexton, television’s reigning poker guru, of Ungar’s fabulous skills as a card player and spectacular need for “action,” but few insights into the source of Ungar’s self-destructive demons: he died prematurely at age 45 from the ravages of drug abuse. Without any analysis, the repetitious account of years of poker ups and downs, sports gambling losses, manic acts of generosity and descents into drug abuse, as tragic as it is, becomes tedious. Still, without distorting or downplaying Ungar’s depredations, this is a heartfelt, respectful and accepting biography.

Review
“Even though Stuey Ungar was perhaps the greatest poker player ever to live, his talent at card playing wasn’t close to being his most compelling characteristic. Stuey was a little bit of a gangster, genius, madman, tragic hero, and cardsharp. Add it all up, as Dalla and Alson have done in captivating style, and you get one of the most unusual characters to ever appear on the Vegas scene.”
–Andy Bellin, author of Poker Nation

Never Threaten to Eat Your Co-Workers: Best of Blogs
A Voyeuristic Collection Of The Internet’s Best BLOG Entries…
Do you occasionally wonder,
What kind of person works at a porn video store?
Do public defenders believe in their clients?
What does a reporter feel when he visits war-torn Iraq?
What happens after a child star falls into obscurity?
Thanks to Web logs, or “blogs” as they’re affectionately nicknamed by Net-savvy voyeurs, anyone can jump into the shoes of a video salesclerk, a criminal court lawyer, an international journalist, or a TV star, among others.
While entertaining and educating, these virtual diaries represent a cross section of the people who dwell online. This book features the Internet’s most provocative writing, by unknown writers and underground celebrities.
Neil Forrester, former cast member of MTV’s The Real World, gives new meaning to the phrase “Bite your tongue.” Meanwhile, Star Trek:The Next Generation actor, Wil Wheaton, gives his take on the Hollywood system and fleeting stardom.
Elsewhere, web designer Heather Hamilton finds herself unemployed after postin on-the-job stories to her personal blog. And humorist Choire Sicha shares advice about broken hearts and timeshares. Plus: tales of creepy video-store customers, office pranks gone awry, a childhood encounter with Darth Vader, and so much more!
Forward by Doc Searls (author of ‘The Cluetrain Manifesto’).
