Al Alvarez UK

Distinguished poet, novelist and critic, Al Alvarez is the author of the first classic poker narrative, The Biggest Game in Town (1983) as well as the entertaining Poker : Bets, Bluffs and Bad Beats (2001).

“It is high time for the intellectual challenges of poker to be properly recognised and the game to be accepted as a mind sport,' he says. “The IFP can make this happen.”
