Story
Game theory means rigorous strategic thinking. It’s the art of anticipating your opponent’s next moves, knowing full well that your rival is trying to do the same thing to you. Though parts of game theory involve simple common sense, much is counterintuitive, and it can only be mastered by developing a new way of seeing the world. Using a diverse array of rich case studies - from pop culture, TV, movies, sports, politics, and history - the authors show how nearly every business and personal interaction has a game-theory component to it.

If you are getting into a high-stakes table, go in with a clear head and no emotional baggage whatsoever. Remember to stay in your comfort zone and play at your leisure, not because people are staring at you to call or bet. Do not let people make you uncomfortable; instead, try to pull them out of their comfort zones so you can analyze them better. Always remember, your opponent’s hand is just as important as yours is....

Publisher's Summary
This book is for you only if you gamble to make money.
If your idea of "fun" and "entertainment" includes giving away your hard-earned money to casinos, I can't help you.
If you enjoy sitting in a mindless, bright lights/dinging trance while you drop quarters down a slot, this book is not for you.
If you think casinos are built and run by stupid people, you better stay out of them.
If you think you can beat a blackjack dealer by wild-assed guessing, think again.
If you play poker just because it's now so popular...you don't need my book.
If you believe you can just happen to be "lucky" enough to beat the odds, you live in a fantasy world and you'd hate this book for destroying your illusions.
But if you're hard-headed, serious, willing to work, and tired of the mainstream gambling books that simply teach you how to lose less rather than win...
If you understand casinos don't stay in business by giving out more money than they take in...
This is an extensive examination of the most popular forms of gambling. If you can find any positive expectation bets, and how.
Some of the material is controversial. Some of it is unique.
It's not for beginners. If you don't already know how to play blackjack or craps, buy and read the basic books first. This one assumes you know and understand the rules of play.
If you have emotional or psychological issues around money - my strong advice is, don't gamble.
If you want to believe casinos are playgrounds built for your amusement, this is not the book for you. I use statistical concepts and common sense to strip away the bright lights and glamor to reveal the mathematical realities of gambling.

You love the game of poker, but you usually leave the game a loser. This is frustrating because you know you have what it takes to make a lot of money playing poker. You have two options: Spend nearly a decade learning from trial and error, or learn the information provided in this book. I have been a profitable player for eight consecutive years, but my approach isn't the norm. I threw everything you're supposed to do out the window and focused on what approaches to the game lead to the highest probability of long-term profits. That's it. That's all I care about: Profits!

Story
Game theory means rigorous strategic thinking. It’s the art of anticipating your opponent’s next moves, knowing full well that your rival is trying to do the same thing to you. Though parts of game theory involve simple common sense, much is counterintuitive, and it can only be mastered by developing a new way of seeing the world. Using a diverse array of rich case studies - from pop culture, TV, movies, sports, politics, and history - the authors show how nearly every business and personal interaction has a game-theory component to it.

Story
The Poker Stop-It List wasn't written by a mega pro. It was written by a fellow human who just loves (and now crushes) the game. I’m an established author. I created a blog followed by millions, as well as various books. Over the years, my followers never knew that I had a secret life playing poker. I wrote about parenting, relationships, life, introspective topics, and shared lots of opinions and stories. My gift has always been putting complex concepts and human dynamics into words that others connect with and understand. So, why not do it with poker, too?
