Story4.5 out of 5 stars 609
Ask the great poker players how they'd play a hand and the answer is always "it depends." That answer can be infuriating. But guess what? It really does depend. The key to becoming a great poker player is in knowing what it depends on. At last there's a book that gives you that answer. Poker is a game of so many variables; table position, flop texture, the number of players in a hand, the personalities of your opponents, and so much more.

I found it very useful
Reviewed: 06-11-24
I liked the contant of the book, there's a lot of useful ideas. I had to slow it down a lot to be able to listen. I also had to rewind a lot. it's really hard to pay attention sometimes. This book, like most poker books, probably is better read than listened to. I do enjoy the fact that Annie is the one narrating it though. I recommend this book.

Unexpected Brilliance

Genius concept!
Reviewed: 05-11-18
The concept is so simple and easy to understand, but feels like it is fairly accurate representation of how people express love and why they feel loved. I firmly believe this book will help my relationships if I apply the teachings.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 64
Welcome to Urban Monad 116. Reaching nearly two miles into the sky, the 1,000 stories of this building are home to over 800,000 people living in peace and harmony. In the year 2381 with a world population of over 75 billion souls, the massive Urbmon system is humanity’s salvation. Life in Urbmon 116 is highly regulated, life is cherished, and the culture of procreation is seen as the highest pinnacle of god’s plan. Conflict is abhorred, and any who disturb the peace face harsh punishment—even being sent “down the chute” to be recycled as fertilizer.

Interesting world boring story
Reviewed: 10-02-17
It is tonight provoking and the world the characters live in is interesting but sadly the story in the book isn't. A few stories loosely connected and not very exciting on their own.

I found it very interesting and although I was expecting the algorithms to be more applicable in day to day life, I still feel like I learned concepts that will indirectly help me in tackling life challenges.

The human race is at War with the "Buggers," an insect-like alien race. As Earth prepares to defend itself from total destruction at the hands of an inscrutable enemy, all focus is on the development of military geniuses who can fight such a war, and win. The long distances of interstellar space have given hope to the defenders of Earth--they have time to train these future commanders up from childhood, forging them into an irresistible force in the high orbital facility called the Battle School.

Great read! I liked it more than Ender's Game.
Reviewed: 09-14-16
This book is more complex than Ender's Game which is why it appealed to me. Also seeing the same story from a different perspective was really interesting! I recommend this book to all sci-fi enthusiasts.

I learned a ton!
Reviewed: 12-17-15
Great book for those that want to take their poker skills to the next level. This book is not for beginners nor is it for professionals. It falls somewhere in the middle, which was perfect for me.
I think it's better to read a paper version of this book because it's easier to see the hands, numbers, calculations but for those that don't have time for that this book will do, just be prepared to rewind A LOT!
