Maria Konnikova is awesome. She used to be a regular guest host on a great podcast called "The Gist" where she'd host a segment called "Is this bulls***?" She's super smart and great at communicating ideas.

This book is good, definitely worth the $2, she also has a couple other good books called Mastermind and The Confidence Game that are worth checking out if you like this one.

Okay, I put two bucks on this. I have been on the edge, the farthest edge of card playing since I learned the rules of poker and blackjack. And as a kid, I studied the blackjack strategies. And later in life, I lost a couple wallets in the casinos. Live and learn.

Later, when playing against computer opponents in Texas Hold-em poker, I found that the only winning strategy was to be a bully against the other players. Playing well was not enough, I had to adopt a destructive and psychopathic mindset to win. That's when I decided to erase that app and never play it again. Winning with it degraded me.

I am also disgusted with "zero sum" games where the outcome is not beneficial to everyone, but just a play of assets from one to another. This does not increase the social benefit at all.

Now I am interested in learning the lessons from another player, and specifically what she found useful in her "bluffing" and what did not work.

If I'm not into poker but want to improve myself in general, is this a good read?

Yes. It's really about psychology but you'll learn a lot about how poker as well.

I read this last year. Great read, but this is not a poker instruction manual. It's more about the culture and psychology of the poker world. Highly recommend!

This looks like a good follow up to Annie Duke's "Thinking in Bets," which I read and enjoyed recently. Thanks Phoinix!

Used to play poker. So the context is fine. But a psychologist who played poker feels like she's bluffing me out of $2.
