Nothing at all about bets.

Évalué le: 2022-11-28

This will be the first audiobook I attempt to return.

This book is written by a poker champion. I was expecting some insight into how professional gamblers approach bets - the thought and decision making process, the approach to risk and analyzing situations, about making decisions with partial info. I was expecting some unique insight. This was not at all what was delivered.

Instead there was a fair amount of her personal experience being mentored by the pros, her repeated advice to form a truth seeking group and some recycled behavioural economics concepts.

The personal experience seemed to be more about the value of being mentored vs the actual process or what was learned, the truth seeking group advice was impractical for the average person, and the behavioural economics info was largely a number of borrowed and seemingly nonrelevant concepts - such as how viewing an edited picture of yourself looking a lot older helps you plan for retirement.

It seems the title should be something like, "The value of mentors and a truth seeking community when trying to grow" . If that was the title I wouldn't be bothered by the content. But as it stands I feel that I've been tricked into buying this!

On another note, the author seems interesting enough and if she were to write a book that actually matched this title I would be quite interested to read it. Hopefully she does!

A rare gem

Évalué le: 2022-10-15

It's rare to find a book that is at once concise, practical and entertaining.

I have a habit of listening to books sped up - sometimes up to 2x because they have so much filler, othertimes because they are just not interesting enough, and other times because they are just not interesting enough. This book was a 1.2x read - which is slighter better than the 1.25 I usually reserve for the best books.

If that is not enough to convince you to listen to the book - at 1.2x It took me about 4 hours or so to finish. So, even if you are on the fence, you might as well just go ahead and listen to it...

Narrator puts you to sleep.

Super had to get through. Probably a decent read but the narrator's voice is far too soothing for such a dry book. Honestly hard to stay awake during. Probably better to read than listen to this one.

Questionable

Évalué le: 2022-02-26

The amount of time he spends devoted to advertising his website makes me wonder if he is actually a profitable trader, or if he just makes money off of his chatroom. If I had to rename the book, it would be called "why you should pay to join my chatroom". Not sure why anyone should pay to read such a long advertisement.

Aside from that, the info seems alright and there are some practical tips mixed in.

Overall the book would probably be decent, except for the lingering question:

if he is such a good trader, why does he spend so much time devoted to advertising his paid chat room? Is this book actually just a marketing tool for his chat room? If so, was this book worth reading?
