The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win
Maria Konnikova
Like in investing, the game of poker represents a balance between skill and luck. The author, a psychologist, approached Erik Seidel, the winner of numerous World Series of Poker bracelets, with the intent of learning the game and more about herself. The book traces her fascinating journey through the poker world and adds many investing insights along the way. Seidel is a better psychologist than mathematician and his teaching leads the author to incredible success in just one year. Konnikova stresses the world has gone overboard with the quantitative and overlooked the value of intuition.
