To prove your poker skills, you don't need to face the best players; the goal is to win money, not to collect tales of triumph. A disciplined player seeks out weaker opponents, focusing on those he can easily outplay. In this narrative, the author embarks on a cross-country journey from Connecticut to Los Angeles, searching for less skilled players to exploit. He plays in casinos, underground clubs, and home games, encountering some of the most inept gamblers in America. From defeating racially charged good ole boys in South Carolina to outsmarting the affluent in Houston and taking advantage of drunken tourists in Vegas, the author showcases his ability to capitalize on others' mistakes. However, this journey is more than just hustling; it’s about building a bankroll to challenge the best in high-stakes games. As he prepares to enter the high-limit rooms at Commerce Casino, he realizes he needs a larger bankroll and steady nerves. Over three months on the road, he aims to increase his funds by an additional twenty thousand dollars, highlighting the relentless pursuit of "fish" in the poker world.
