This is the story of how Maria Konnikova, a doctor of psychology, became a poker champion. But if you are looking for a book about the game of poker, then you are not here. Konnikova rarely delves into the details of specific tournaments or hands, she rather describes the general trajectory of the game. “The greatest bluff" is a psychological and philosophical understanding of the process of learning to play poker. Konnikova uses her experience as a starting point for reflection. For example, a lesson about the suppression of body language turns into a discussion about social dynamics and personality types.“The Greatest Bluff” stands out from a series of similar books about learning and subsequent success for its harsh honesty. Most books of this kind bypass a series of failures, replacing it with a quick cut, which makes the whole process look easier than it really is. Konnikova talks without embellishment about the stress of repeated failures, which every beginner necessarily experiences.Combining knowledge about poker and psychology, Konnikova considers the game as a model for decision-making. How do we make a choice, what is the ratio of luck and skill in this process and are these data applicable to our daily lives?
