Book excerpt: Chapter 1: Know Yourself and Your Enemy in Poker Chapter 2: Adaptability - The Key to Winning Strategies in Poker Chapter 3: Deception - Mastering the Art of Misdirection in Poker Chapter 4: Patience - The Virtue of Waiting in Poker Chapter 5: Managing Resources - The Art of Strategic Chip Deployment in Poker Chapter 6: Psychological Warfare - Mastering the Mental Game in Poker In the realm of strategic thinking, few texts have stood the test of time like Sun Tzu's "The Art of War." Written over two thousand years ago, this ancient Chinese treatise has influenced generations of military leaders, business executives, and politicians alike, offering timeless insights into the nature of conflict, the importance of adaptability, and the art of achieving victory through skill, cunning, and psychological mastery. As a professional poker player and lifelong student of strategy, I have long been fascinated by the parallels between Sun Tzu's teachings and the mental battlegrounds of the poker table. The game of poker, like the art of war, requires a delicate balance of aggression and patience, a keen understanding of one's opponents, and the ability to make tough decisions under pressure. The strategic principles that have guided generals and commanders for centuries are just as applicable to the high-stakes world of competitive poker, where fortunes can be won or lost on the turn of a single card. In this book, we embark on a journey of discovery, exploring the ways in which Sun Tzu's timeless wisdom can be applied to the modern game of poker. Through a series of in-depth analyses, real-world examples, and engaging anecdotes, we will uncover the secrets of successful poker strategy, from the art of deception and the importance of adaptability to the crucial role of psychological warfare in achieving victory over one's opponents.

Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller • A New York Times Notable Book “The tale of how Konnikova followed a story about poker players and wound up becoming a story herself will have you riveted, first as you learn about her big winnings, and then as she conveys the lessons she learned both about human nature and herself.” —The Washington Post 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 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.
