The Biggest Bluff

Maria Konnikova, a New York Times bestselling author, had no prior experience with poker when she sought mentorship from Erik Seidel, a legendary player. Driven by a desire to understand the role of chance in her life, she embarked on a journey into the world of professional poker. With Seidel's guidance, she learned not only the rules of the game but also valuable lessons about decision-making and control. Her year culminated at the World Series of Poker, where she faced challenges that reshaped her understanding of risk and strategy in both poker and life.
