Hola, a tod@s:
Pues eso que el señor Forte después de publicar hace un año su aclamado y exhaustivo Casino Game Protection, acaba de sacar otro libro dedicado sólo al tema del poker.
Como a algunos aficionados a la cartomagia también nos interesa el tema de las técnicas de los tahúres, es una buena noticia.
Además el precio es más asequible (unos 50 $) que su anterior libro.
