Desc : How a New York Times bestselling author and New Yorker
contributor parlayed a strong grasp of the science of human
decision-making and a woeful ignorance of cards into a
life-changing run as a professional poker player, under the wing
of a legend of the gameIt's true that Maria Konnikova had never
actually played poker before and didn't even know the rules when
she approached Erik Seidel, Poker Hall of Fame inductee and
winner of tens of millions of dollars in earnings, and convinced
him to be her mentor. But she knew her man: a famously
thoughtful and broad-minded player, he was intrigued by her
pitch that she wasn't interested in making money so much as
learning about life. She had faced a stretch of personal bad
luck, and her reflections on the role of chance had led her to a
giant of game theory, who pointed her to poker as the ultimate
master class in learning to distinguish between what can be
controlled and what can't. And she certainly brought something
to the table, including a Ph.D. in psychology and an acclaimed
and growing body of work on human behavior and how to hack it.
So Seidel was in, and soon she was down the rabbit hole with
him, into the wild, fiercely competitive, overwhelmingly
masculine world of high-stakes Texas Hold'em, their initial end
point the following year's World Series of Poker.But then
something extraordinary happened. Under Seidel's guidance,
Konnikova did have many epiphanies about life that derived from
her new pursuit, including how to better read, not just her
opponents but far more importantly herself; how to identify what
tilted her into an emotional state that got in the way of good
decisions; and how to get to a place where she could accept luck
for what it was, and what it wasn't. But she also began to win.
And win. In a little over a year, she began making earnest money
from tournaments, ultimately totaling hundreds of thousands of
dollars. She won a major title, got a sponsor, and got used to
being on television, and to headlines like How one writer's book
deal turned her into a professional poker player. She even
learned to like Las Vegas.But in the end, Maria Konnikova is a
writer and student of human behavior, and ultimately the point
was to render her incredible journey into a container for its
invaluable lessons. The biggest bluff of all, she learned, is
that skill is enough. Bad cards will come our way, but keeping
our focus on how we play them and not on the outcome will keep
us moving through many a dark patch, until the luck once again
breaks our way.
