This was an incredible read! It got a bit more into the weeds of poker than I was able to follow, but her storytelling style was so compelling that it was worth it!

I never would have chosen this book without a recommendation from someone I trust implicitly. I know nothing of poker, have never played it and never been interested in playing it, but the story of Marias's self-made challenge and the way she compares it to life make this one of my favorite reads in quite a while. If you need a change of pace in your reading, this is it!

People failed to see what the world was telling them when that message wasn’t one they wanted to hear. They liked being the rulers of their environment. When the environment knew more than they did—well, that was no good at all. Here was the cruel truth: we humans too often think ourselves in firm control when we are really playing by the rules of chance.
