The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win by Maria Konnikova

3.0

The "poker is life" metaphor is played out perfectly in this book. This isn't a seat of your pants, bravado story. This is a well thought out examination of the luck and skill that goes into being a successful poker player. And then how those things can be applied to real life situations.

It would have been a 4 star review with a little more game play review and a little less psychology. The three pages of saying the same thing over and over again on going to the first WSOP Main was a little tedious.

For anyone that has been sucked into watching Texas Hold Em on TV, it is worth a read.
