Fletcher and his poker face

By Will last year, mid-October Leave a comment on this post

I just stumbled across a book with a very similar title to Duncan Fletcher’s forthcoming autobiography, Behind the Shades. It’s called The Man Behind the Shades: The Rise and Fall of Stuey ‘The Kid’ Ungar, Poker’s Greatest Player.

A little irony for you there; Fletcher has the best poker face since Steve Waugh.

Fletcher’s book is out on November 5 and you can pre-order it from Amazon which also gives me a bit of money - a good thing for all concerned, don’t you think?
