My goal was to hit every poker room in Las Vegas with the goal of turning a profit. This is a fast-paced real-life journey, including poker, people, and problems.

On a whim, I asked Facebook fans/friends if they would like to be in a book about a fictional poker tournament. The demand far exceeded my expectations, which led to me capping the number of characters at 100 (it ended up being 101 characters due to an error on my part). This book is 90% fiction, but there are some true stories within its pages. I researched every character in the book to the best of my ability and based that character's actions and dialogue on the research. If you play poker, then it's highly likely you know someone in this book. These characters include home gamers, bar leaguers, live casino regulars, online players, circuit pros, and high rollers. If this book is successful, I will turn this into a trilogy. If you want a shot at getting into one of the future installments, you can find more information at the end of the book. For now, Welcome to the Pink Pi ata

Kerry Mulhill might be an average guy, but his one fateful night in Cove Valley is far from ordinary. This misadventure begins with car trouble during a blizzard, forcing Kerry to seek shelter in an American ghetto. He soon finds himself up against those who control the ghetto - unscrupulous and unforgiving folks who watch the perimeter of Cove Valley and won't let Kerry leave. At the same time, several mysterious characters are leaving clues for Kerry along the way, attempting to help him survive and escape.
