miguelf 's review for:
The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win
by Maria Konnikova
You gotta know when to hold ‘em, know when to follllld ‘em… Short summary: a psychology post-doc enters the world of competitive poker and parses the "players" mind and has a mini-Rocky experience. The main weakness of this book is that it doesn’t really expand much beyond the world of competitive betting either from a psychological or social analysis. If you’re not a fan of gambling it’s a bit tough to relate (the world of professional gambling is about as interesting as reading a book on professional e-Sports players) and the book becomes a bit of a chore to get through. On top the characters introduced are uninteresting and/or toxic personalities with plenty of sexism thrown at the author. In the end it doesn’t get much deeper than a famous Kenny Rogers tune.
