The Biggest Bluff – Audiobook Online

“The story of how Konnikova follows the story of the poker players and eventually becomes one that will keep you hooked, first as you learn about her big wins, then as  She conveys the lessons she has learned about human nature and herself.” (Washington Posts).

It’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, and convince him to be her mentor. But she knew her man: a famously thoughtful and broad-minded footballer, he was so intrigued by her performance that she wasn’t as interested in making money as learning about her life.

But then something extraordinary happened. Under Seidel’s tutelage, Konnikova has already made many of the obvious things about life stem from her new pursuits, including how to better read not only her opponents but, more importantly, herself; how to determine what has put her in an emotional state that interferes with the right decisions; and how to get to a place where she can accept luck whatever it is and what it isn’t. But she also started to win. And win. Within a little over a year, she started making money from tournaments, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. She’s won a major title, has a sponsor, and is used to appearing on television, with headlines like “How a writer’s book deal made her a celebrity  a professional poker player.” She even learned to like Las Vegas.

But ultimately, Maria Konnikova is a writer and student of human behavior, and the ultimate aim is to turn her incredible journey into a vessel of invaluable lessons. She learns that the biggest trick is that skill is enough. Bad cards will come our way, but our focus on how we play them and not the outcome will keep us going through many dark periods, until our luck comes again with us.

Absolutely love this story. She started learning skills that could be amortized beyond poker and I think she got more than she bargained for.
