Annie Duke was a rude, medeocre poker player who could never consistently win big in poker. She is also the sister of Howard Lederer, one of the biggest cheats and thiefs in poker history when he and Chris "Jesus" Ferguson were the faces of the multimillion dollar ponze scheme when they ran FullTiltPoker online real-money poker site where he took somewhere around $42 million dollars for himself but screwed the hundreds of thousands of online players out of hundreds of millions of dollars by not having any money in the company's account to payout any players when they wanted to cashout which is highly illegal, sort of like what Bernie Madolf did. I wouldn't trust anything either of them have to say as she was not a good person or poker player so it is highly unlikely she has anything useful or insightful to say, and Howard was a terrible person and law-breaking liar/cheat/thief who has no concience or moral compass and nothing he says can be trusted anyway.

Not a huge ebook fan, but there's a great interview between Annie Duke and Steven Leavitt a few weeks back: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/...it-update/ Worth checking out, if you're on the fence or interested

I can't speak to her rudeness, but I have read this book. The advice it offers is sound, if not essential. As is her, "Thinking in Bets."

Long to short, the irony is, you've actually made a case for why she **is** "authorized" to write a book on quitting. A book on walking away from something sooner rather than later.

That is, imagine expecting good+ advice from someone who has no experience on the topic. Imagine reading a book on "When to Leave Your Marriage" by someone who has never been married or never been divorced. That would be silly, eh.

Finally, here's a tip from "Quit":

Truth-seeking > Group thinking. (read as: Truth seeking is greater than group thinking).

That is, find people who will tell you The Truth, and not stick to "conventional wisdom", not tell you what you want to hear. Ya think maybe she learned that the hard way?

Note: I'm not defending Duke. Whatever. However, the idea of "don't listen to someone who has made mistakes and has shared those experiences so others don't do the same" simply doesn't make sense. Or we can do group-think-y comments like yours

Editoral: Dule's dad might be shady but he's not even close to Dick Cheney, and look how many people look up to his daughter, that _______y______ that she is. Let's have some perspective.

You can't both say that you're "not defending" someone and then suggest that defrauding people out of hundreds of millions of dollars was just a simple "mistake".

You can't expect morals from the Small Hat Club Lederer and Duke are a part of.

In what way does being a mediocre poker player reflect someone's character or credibility on an unrelated subject?

because you've got to know when to hold em, when to fold em, and when to walk away.

A person who can't play poker is someone whose advice I can't take seriously. Not even with a poker face.
