$mart Ace (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798894275956)

$mart Ace, Life Lessons for Young People Taught over a Poker Table: This book teaches valuable life lessons through the setup of a card game. No prior knowledge is necessary. Using examples from the poker room, workplace, dating, etc., we'll look at everything from basic hygiene to time and money management. These lessons come from an author who learned them by doing every wrong, hilariously dumb thing imaginable for twenty-plus years. Expertise comes through experience.

Why use poker as a storytelling tool? Because Luke likes it, and he's the author. Really, though, similar tales could be told through most competitive sports or even workplaces (but that's no fun).

If there's a young(ish) person in your life, sixteen to thirty, here's an easy read, but meant to get the reader thinking about common mistakes they'd regret later. A pronounced book of wisdom for his daughter, this is more like a book to the author's younger self that could be useful to anyone, regardless of age. If they like poker, even better!
