Rick Gleason Holds First Book Signing For 101+ Poker Tips At The Bellagio In Las Vegas
Rick Gleason celebrated the release of his new book, 101+ Poker Tips “That Actually Work”: What The Cards Taught Me After Midnight, with his first book signing at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Held in one of the most iconic poker settings in the country, the signing gave players, fans, and casino guests a chance to meet Rick, pick up a signed copy of the book, and talk poker strategy, lessons learned at the table, and the real-world thinking behind the tips inside the book.
The event featured copies of 101+ Poker Tips, promotional signage, and plenty of conversations with poker players who understand the value of practical advice that can be used at the table immediately. For Rick, the Bellagio was a fitting location to introduce the book in person, surrounded by the energy, atmosphere, and competitive spirit that inspired so many of the lessons inside.

101+ Poker Tips “That Actually Work” focuses on the practical lessons learned after years playing live cash games in Las Vegas casinos and presents 101+ concise and practical insights designed to help everyday players improve their decision-making, discipline, and long-term results at the poker table.
"Poker is often misunderstood as a game of luck played against the house,” Gleason says. “It isn’t—it’s a competition between you and the other players at your table. And over time you come to realize the real game is about judgment, patience, and emotional control. The players who succeed are the ones who learn how to think clearly, making better decisions, especially when the pot grows large, and the pressure is on.”
