"Full House: 10 Stories about Poker" by Pete Hautman is a collection of short stories that delve into the world of poker, capturing the thrill, strategy, and psychology behind the game. Each tale features diverse characters—players from different walks of life, each with their own motivations and challenges. Through their experiences at the poker table, themes of risk, risk-taking, and the nature of chance are explored. The stories illustrate not only the art of bluffing and betting but also deeper themes of relationships, identity, and the pursuit of victory, making the reader ponder what’s at stake both in the game and in life.
