Poker as Life: 101 Lessons from the World's Greatest Game

by Lee Robert Schreiber

Where else but at the poker table can you discover all in one place the principles of finance (money management, risk and reward); mathematics (probability and odds); sociology (getting along with disparate, sometimes odious, personalities for the good of the game); literature (playing by the book); and, above all, psychology (in which the perceptive, intuitive, and observant student of human nature will usually be materially rewarded). Poker As Life is a primer for success. If you lie but never cheat, play the hand you’re dealt, and make your own luck, then you’ll never go bust.
As a bonus, there are dozens of entertaining and edifying life lessons provided by poker pros and other famous folk.
