PARABLE #2 – HIGH-STAKES LIFE
I really regret never having met Jack Straus. Straus, a contemporary of Doyle Brunson and a member of the Poker Hall of Fame, is known to me primarily from the stories written and told by Al Alvarez and Anthony Holden.

My friend Melissa, the photographer whose boyfriend is Allen Cunningham, asked me to help her get together with Al Alvarez, famous English author, poet, and critic, and legendary in poker for writing THE BIGGEST GAME IN TOWN, the best book ever written about poker. I met Al last year through our mutual good friend Tony Holden (himself a famous English author, opera critic, and poker legend for penning BIG DEAL and, in 2007, BIGGER DEAL). I heard his health had declined but it was magical meeting him then. At 5’6″ and slightly stooped, I thought him a giant.
