Well written and insightful; I just don't know enough about poker to fully appreciate this book.

part travelogue, part meditation on thinking, part poker apologia, part buddy comedy with Eric Siedel. konnikova is a hell of a writer so each of those parts succeeds, though not as much when considered as a single vehicle.

It's entertaining, but mostly covers (and not a lot) stuff I have read in other psychology books. The story is entertaining though and is a fluid read (hence the 4 stars).
