Publisher's summary

You know those guys who play poker for millions of dollars on television? I'm not one of those guys. Instead, I risked my life on a nightly basis playing in underground poker games on Long Island and in Charlotte. This story is about how I managed to survive, but just barely.

The Dark Side adventure continues with A Darker Side of the Felt.

A very fun read (listen)

I have read (listened) to many of Tyler’s books and have LOVED each one for different reasons. This one, as well as a couple of others, was read by the same person which makes for a sense of familiarity. His ability to tell a poker story makes you feel you are living it with him. I was hanging on every word. Well done, sir!!

Great Read!!! Very Entertaining

I am very happy that I downloaded this book! From beginning to end I was entertained! As a small stakes poker player I was able to relate to some of the situations and found other situations in the book hilarious. The book was about poker but was definitely not your typical poker book that bores you to death with to much hand analysis! I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who is into poker, but not looking for your typical drawn out strategy book.

Entertaining

I really enjoyed this book. It was very entertaining with good description of characters throughout.

Dark Side of the Felt Review

The best thing I liked about this book: the main character was real. I could identify with the real life decisions that were made - good and not so much - of a “true poker player.” No one is perfect, and that is reflected in the story very well! The narrator made it easy to slip into Tyler’s situation and mindset with his delivery, allowing the reader/listener to be a part of the story at times. Lastly, the poker tips embedded throughout the story are sharp and insightful points to those who are trying to work their way through the game. Mainly a story, mostly a lesson, quietly an experience. Great Job! -AC

Poker Stories Galore

If you like hearing those poker stories about a player, listen to this book. Like always a great book Tyler.

Another great book

I didn't know what to expect when I started this book. This is the 4th book I've listened to from Tyler and they have all been great. From an honest story standpoint this is the best so far that I've listened to. The Perfect Range is still the best strategy book with Poker Blog and Poker Notes being good advice/strategy too. There are a lot of ups and downs in this book and you really feel for Tyler. Like any good story though the ending isn't as bleak as you might assume. It's a must read.

Very riveting story!

This story was very interesting. Shows some of the pitfalls and dangers of the underground poker, with a few strategy nuggets tossed in. a good listen.

Great Story

Strong writing. It kept me interested. Still need to find a copy to get it signed...I guess we'll see how my book hunting skills are, I could have it amazon style but the hunt is always so much more fun.

Fun book

Fun listen while I’m between games. Looking forward to the next book. Highly recommend to any poker player

Great Read/Listen!

Yet another great book by Tyler Nals! Guy’s got a way with words and a crazy fun story. I won’t say too much because I hate spoilers and won’t do that to you. Read/listen and enjoy!
