And in Mr. Schreiber, Esquire has found the right guy--a major player in cutting-edge theory and real-world experience--to write the book on Poker As Life.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.\"Guessers are losers\"--Amarillo Slim\"I stayed up all night playing poker with tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.\"--Steven Wright\"In the long run there's no luck in poker, but the short run is longer than most people know.\"--Rick Bennet\"Nobody can forsee what will please the critics. Every artistic activity is, and always will be, a poker game.\"--Marlene DietrichLee Scheiber supported himself through college via his poker wiles. He's played every variation extant (he even invented a few) at every stakes level, from penny-ante to no-limit. In his only tournament experience, he outlasted world champion Scotty Nguyen, an account he chronicled for Fortune Small Business, one of numerous publications in which he's shared his poker-related wit and wisdom. \"Poker as Life\" is a valuable book, and not just for poker buffs. As those who live by its precepts could surely tell you, this little tome...is an even better handbook of practical philosophy--how to get somewhere in a world in which, whether you like it or not, many of life's winners approach each day as a new game.\"--www.headbutler.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51881173713184,"sku":"NEW1588164616","price":28.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/511K9ugjmvL.jpg?v=1781817861","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/poker-as-life-101-lessons-from-the-worlds-greatest-game-1588164616","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
