The rules of poker are a lot like lifeand 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 showdowns, but Esquire has always been a few steps ahead of the curve. And in Mr. Schreiber, Esquire has found the right guya major player in cuttingedge theory and realworld experienceto 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.'Guessers are losers'Amarillo Slim'I stayed up all night playing poker with tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.'Steven Wright'In the long run there's no luck in poker, but the short run is longer than most people know.'Rick Bennet'Nobody can forsee what will please the critics. Every artistic activity is, and always will be, a poker game.'Marlene DietrichLee Scheiber supported himself through college via his poker wiles. He's played every variation extant (he even invented a few) at every stakes level, from pennyante to nolimit. In his only tournament experience, he outlasted world champion Scotty Nguyen, an account he chronicled for Fortune Small Business, one of numerous publications in which he's shared his pokerrelated wit and wisdom. 'Poker as Life' is a valuable book, and not just for poker buffs. As those who live by its precepts could surely tell you, this little tome...is an even better handbook of practical philosophyhow to get somewhere in a world in which, whether you like it or not, many of life's winners approach each day as a new game.'www.headbutler.com
