About this audiobook
BROKE LIVING, HIGH ROLLING
The Unauthorized Biography of Jean-Robert Bellande
He spent a lifetime going broke in the company of millionaires—and still considered himself poker’s luckiest man.
From growing up in Taiwan to Hollywood nightlife and Las Vegas’s highest-stakes poker rooms, Jean-Robert “JRB” Bellande turned charm, connections, and extraordinary risk into a remarkable life.
Fortunes disappeared. Friendships endured. The next game always beckoned.
Book One in Ed Reif’s Legends of Poker series.
First you play for fun. Then for money. Finally, for the love of the game.
An independent, unauthorized biography, not endorsed by Jean-Robert Bellande.
