I am a professional poker player, writer, developer, and the greatest photo hunt player in the world. I lived every poker player's dream by winning my World Series of Poker bracelet in 2006, going headsup against then reigning world champion Joe Hachem, all in front of the ESPN cameras. Then I did it again in 2010. I'm just like you. Another player in life, moving forward, trying to make the right moves. LAURENCE SAMUELS Thanks for taking the time to read my author bio page. I've enjoyed writing for as long as I can remember. My passion for writing led me to co-authoring my first book in 2005, titled Tax Deed and Real Estate Investing. My sophomore book titled 101 Rules of Real Estate, was co-authored with Matt Merdian and released in April 2013. Poker Tilt is my latest project, co-authored by two time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, Dutch Boyd. It was released in May 2014 and has received critical acclaim. In my spare time, I love to travel and windsurf (preferably both). • In the new book The Moneymaker Effect, which was recently reviewed here on PokerNews, author Eric Raskin highlights the rise of Dutch Boyd during the 2003 World Series of Poker. He was considered one of the game's brightest up and comers, but since then Boyd has ventured in and out of the poker spotlight, sometimes for good reasons and sometimes for bad. Now, Boyd documents his life in a new book, Poker Tilt, which was created after a successful Kickstarter campaign in early 2013. The new book is primarily a biography, but also offers up various pieces of strategy and life lessons. I had the opportunity to read Poker Tilt during the 2014 WSOP, where Boyd unexpectedly won his third gold bracelet. The timing couldn’t have been better as it coincided with the release of his book — plus it allowed him to take care of that court order against him and pay Mason Malmuth the money owed (unfortunately none of this is in the book). Poker Tilt got off to a rough start. Boyd is a solid writer, but he doesn’t have the experience and talent of Jim McManus and Nolan Dalla. As such, the writing is a little rough around the edges and unpolished, much like Boyd is himself. The book als Poker Tilt
