The arrival of the Poker Encyclopedia reflects the growing popularity of this sport. Poker is now more popular than ever - an estimated 50 million people play regularly in North America alone - with more and more people playing at home and online. The Poker Encyclopedia covers such topics as Add-Ons (an opportunity to buy further chips at the end of the rebuy period), Antonio Esfandiaries (reckoned by many to be the best young player around), Alligator (players who can withstand pressure are said to have 'alligator blood') and Anna Kournikova (not a reference to her Poker playing skills, but an Ace-King in the pocket which doesn't go on to win. A pun on the initials of the tennis player who looked good, but never won a major title.) All this, and that's just under A! This compendium of Poker knowledge also features contributions from experts such as World Series winners Chris Moneymaker and Joe Hachem.
