MOLLY'S GAME: Great movie (poker story)

In case you've not seen this movie, it is just excellent.

Tobey Maguire was the big one.

Pete Sampras, Macaulay Culkin, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Alex Rodriguez were others that are known.

Molly's Game -- pure unadulterated fiction. Not the least bit accurate in any way. I didn't necessarily play in any of Molly's games, but I have played with and know nearly all the characters in the film. Read Houston's book if you want to get a more accurate depiction."

A Big Hand For the Little Lady is the best poker movie ever! Great twist ending.

Forget about those two bullshit stories...I am more interested in your scribd subscription. I checked them out online...but I have unanswered questions. It says that I can read their books even on my Amazon kindle. Really?

Don’t know about Kindle. I use an iPad almost exclusively. Have a kindle app but don’t use it for Scribd. I use their app instead. Check it out. At most you will pay for one month. Cancel anytime.

I read voraciously and it is the best internet investment I have ever made. I’ll be reading an article or a YouTube that mentions a particular book or author. I check Scribd and BAM it’s there. 90% of the time.

I just subscribed. Free 30-day trial...and they offer unlimited audiobooks too, all for a low monthly fee.

Reading as much as I do...I am shocked that I had never heard of this site. Thanks a lot!

Couple of things:

Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Search both by author and title. Sometimes you’ll get a hit one way and not the other.

Good reading!
