Poker! "The Biggest Bluff"--far More than about just-the-Game
On npr/Freakonomics prolly pod ensues.. as usual.
Via a brilliantly-matched Interviewer and a pellucid superbly educated (Successfully] Author, this is the most memorable 'interview' I've peeped in donkeys' Years. She decribes her leaving USSR at age 4, etc.--succinctly as are each of her comments. (She has a PhD in Psych--but went there to a Purpose), as unfolds ... rarely have I heard such perspicuity unfolded so brilliantly [except maybe ..Feynman, Mark Twain and a very few]. (At age 34?! ..only trebles the effect).
Yes, she was a complete Novice. Has two other books, one: Mastermind ..I may spring for. She Knows how-teach Thinking. I can always use more about that.
It is the Best word-form encapsulation of Stats--not so important as Probabilities--how we make-use (or not so well) in our internal instant-dialogues. Nuff said: if you bother to find this re-run ..and find it Ho-Hum rather than Ho!-Hmmmm!!--please see your therapist.
Samples: "Info in common: both public and private (on the board)" explained ... to a fare-thee-well.
(She'd never 'played cards before'--deciding to Learn/Try 'Poker'. Thought there were 54 cards in a deck!)
"I think we use deception (widely) in real-Life" (an aside).
That is all. Whether or not you Poker much. (So glad that this will eventually be within the Show's archives).
As she concludes ~.."this isn't only about Poker and you don't need the book to see) that ____ ____"
