I accidentally ended up playing at the same table with Tom 2 weeks ago and was absolutely starstruck. I actually won four big hands against him, obviously mostly because of my ridiculous luck that day and not skill, lol. I bought the book and had him sign it to me. It is VERY well written. I can’t put it down. What an absolute gem of a man and a true Poker Pioneer and legend.
One of my favs - early in my Poker Playing - I was fairly new and playing a Binion's about 2011'ish (1-3 ) unknown to me -I was playing with Tom (he had a beard then) and Poker Anne - I kept getting check-raised by Tom on my Left every time I raised in position - everyone at the table would almost fold watching us play heads up - it was an hour before Poker Anne asked me if I knew who he was? (when he left for a bathroom break) I had no clue - I won $685.00 that night - Super Nice game and he was very surprised - I was a complete amateur - i still have the pictures of the event and a selfie with him -
I like Tom, got to play with and rod some in Pendleton. Both of those guys said the main lasted 7 hours because backers couldn't come to a decision on how to split the money. Now I'm hearing different
Tom’s honesty is refreshing, especially in this day and age when honesty is almost an accident. Class act!

Thanks for the info.. Great interview. I love TOM McEvoy and will buy his book. I appreciate poker history and old stories.

This was a really great interview. I've never bought a poker book, but I want this one!
Great interview ! ! Thanks ! !
Great Book with juicy details
to bad it's not on Audible. At least not in my country,
Great interview!
GG, Tom. Stellar career, and this talk with Chad for Poker News has persuaded me to have a look at your latest work.
great guy
Memory lane. I was ten yards away when McEvoy leapt skyward. Landing boots balanced on his tournament chair.
I bought Tom's 7-stud book many years ago. I made a lot of money off that information. He's a great player and writer.
