Dedication
This book is dedicated to my boys Sam and Jake
Oppenheim who are two of the finest people I
have ever had the pleasure of sharing a life
with. They continue to love, challenge, and
teach me about caring, integrity, honesty,
truth, and poker.
This book was written in honor of my dear
friend Bill Smith whose loyalty and friendship
was never in doubt and whose humor and love
will live on in the hearts of those who had the
honor to know and love him.
