Like I say, buy the book, it is a brilliant work which allowed me to reconcile playing poker with the inevitable losses that occur. I also was able to relate this to the stock market, investing, and the events that happen in my life.

I admit, the math is not for everybody, but I got through it referring back to my college and grad school statistics books. It helped me produce a ton of money in poker and the stock market, as well as deal with difficult people and difficult situations, when at points I was seriously considering throwing in the towel.

All of that from a gambling theory book.
