Thought processes, personality factors, emotional states, cognitive biases—poker, a simple card game, can reveal so much about human behavior through the decisions players make. A hundred such psychological tendencies plague each individual, and the secret to winning in poker (and life) is to be aware of them—especially before opponents find out and use these to their advantage!

This book, engaging tools from mathematics, psychology, economics, and other domains, provides a theoretical foundation for how to decode human nature through the lens of poker, and reveals how these can be leveraged to keep the pot growing, both on and off the table.
