Synopsis

The rules of poker are a lot like life - and who better to deal the winning hand than a dedicated player who has learned many of life's most important lessons at the poker table? Poker's the rage, thanks to televised tournaments and Internet show-downs, but Esquire has always been a few steps ahead of the curve. And in Mr. Schreiber, Esquire has found the right guy - a major player in cutting-edge theory and real-world experience - to write the book on Poker As Life. Where else but at the poker table can you discover all in one place the principles of finance (money management, risk and reward); mathematics (probability and odds); sociology (getting along with disparate, sometimes odious, personalities for the good of the game); literature (playing by the book); and, above all, psychology (in which the perceptive, intuitive, and observant student of human nature will usually be materially rewarded). Poker As Life is a primer for success. If you lie but never cheat, play the hand you're dealt, and make your own luck, then you'll never go bust. As a bonus, there are dozens of entertaining and edifying life lessons provided by poker pros and other famous folk.
