"If I were seeking a guide to lead me through the streams in search of really big fish, I'd grab my tackle and get in Jay's canoe. And if I were searching for fish at the poker table, I'd follow Jay too. And so should you. He can lead you to everything you wanted to know about poker but have never asked." -- Lou Krieger, author of POKER FOR DUMMIES "There are great poker players and there are great writers. Jay is one of the rare exceptions who is a star at both. As a poker writer, he is a fresh voice with sharp insights on game play, strategy, players, and poker's impact on pop culture. Gauging from his large following on the Web, when Jay talks poker, poker people listen." -- Bhu Srinivasan, Publisher/Editor-in-Chief of All In magazine "Jay Greenspan is a terrific writer with a deep and detailed understanding of poker. If he's writing a book, it's guaranteed to be entertaining. Hunting Fish is the kind of book veteran and novice poker players alike will really enjoy reading, and stands a great chance of joining the short list of poker classics." -- Dan Kimberg, Card Player columnist, If I were seeking a guide to lead me through the streams in search of really big fish, I'd grab my tackle and get in Jay's canoe.

Synopsis
In gambling circles, fleecing suckers is a time-honored tradition. Greenspan builds on this history of con-manship by offering a unique narrative that chronicles his journey for the worst poker players America has to offer., If you want to prove you're a good poker player, you don't have to battle against the best. Nobody really cares if you ever bluffed Phil Ivey or got Daniel Negreanu to make a bad call. You're at the table for the money, not stories of conquest. A disciplined player, one who's playing for the right reasons, would rather sit with the worst, those he's sure to outplay. He's looking for donkeys and donors. He's hunting fish. In Hunting Fish author Jay Greenspan sets out on a cross-country drive---from Connecticut to Los Angeles---looking for players he can outclass. In casinos, underground clubs, and home games throughout the country, Jay shared tables with the most inept gamblers America has to offer. In South Carolina he wiped out some racial-epithet-spewing good ole boys; in Houston he fleeced the country club set; and in Vegas he happily pounded drunken tourists. Hunting Fish is, however, not merely the story of a hustler's travels. In addition to fleecing suckers, Jay was convinced he could beat the very best and make it as a full-time pro. This trip gave him the opportunity to build his bankroll to the point where he could test his mettle in high-stakes games when he reached Los Angeles. Although to play in the high-limit rooms at Commerce Casino he needed a steady nerve---and a fatter bankroll. In his three months on the road, he needed to pad his roll with an additional twenty thousand dollars. That's a lot of fish to hunt.
