The Poker Game of Life - Maria Konnikova

Maria Konnikova is an award-winning author, professional poker player, and writer for The New Yorker. She is an ambassador for PokerStars Team Pro and has written two New York Times bestsellers, The Confidence Game, winner of the 2016 Robert P. Balles Prize in Critical Thinking, and Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes, an Anthony and Agatha Award finalist. Maria is currently working on a book about poker and the balance of skill and luck in life, The Biggest Bluff, to be published in 2019 by Penguin Press. In the course of her research for the book, Maria amassed over $270,000 in poker tournament earnings within one year and captured a major international poker title. It’s not entirely surprising, given the background she brings to the poker table: apart from being a bestselling author and award-winning journalist, Maria holds a Ph.D. in Psychology from Columbia University. Her doctoral work was on risky and emotional decision making in uncertain environments—the precise sorts of conditions you encounter not only at the poker table but in many corporate settings. Her theoretical findings, alongside her new practical experience, form a powerful combination for insight into the human decision making process in environments far removed from poker. It is this unique perspective that she will bring to any speaking engagement.
