Life Outside Poker is a new podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level. In the 18th episode, Connor speaks with author and psychologist Maria Konnikova about her family leaving Russia to come to the US, writing her first story in kindergarten, being mentored by Steven Pinker at Harvard, meeting Erik Seidel for the first time and her 2020 bestseller The Biggest Bluff that explored her poker journey. Konnikova, a PokerStars ambassador, also talked about her research for an upcoming book into cheating in poker and other games, as well as game integrity rule changes implemented at EPT Barcelona that Konnikova said needed to go even further. "I think what PokerStars has done is amazing. I think you need to go a step further and not have any electronics anywhere on the table. Like, I think phones need to be on the floor, in your bag." "I would actually also ban sunglasses because ... there's so much technology that (that can enable cheating)." This interview was filmed in Spain during the 2024 PokerStars EPT Barcelona festival at Casino Barcelona. The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Maria Konnikova by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel. Be sure to follow Maria Konnikova and Connor Richards on X.

Can a game help us explore life's answers? Or teach us about our own existence? Poker, neither a game of chance nor of mathematical precision, may hold clues. In her book "The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself and Win," the psychologist and best-selling author Maria Konnikova enters the world of high-stakes poker as a novice and transforms into an expert. Along the way, she investigates the role that luck plays in our lives and why we can't control everything. In this episode of the podcast “The Next Chapter” by American Express Business Class, Konnikova and host Cardiff Garcia discuss what poker can teach us about better decision making.

หนังสือ The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win ของ Maria Konnikova - เมื่อเราสังเกตเก่งแล้ว เราก็จะมีความสามารถเพิ่มขึ้นอย่างมหาศาล นั่นก็เพราะเราจะรู้ว่าการเปลี่ยนแปลงเพียงหนึ่งย่อมส่งผลต่อหลายสิ่ง - การตัดสินใจ เนื่องด้วยประสบการณ์จากอดีต มันจะเป็นตัวหล่อหลอมให้เราเก่งมากยิ่งขึ้น ซึ่งเราจะได้ฝึกฝนการตัดสินใจด้วยถ้าเราทำซ้ำ - การเรียนรู้จักคู่แข่งก็เป็นส่วนหนึ่งของการตัดสินใจด้วยเช่นกัน การทำความรู้จัก ดูเหมือนว่ามันอาจจะไม่มีผลต่อชีวิต แต่นั่นคือตัวชี้ขาดอนาคต - แม้ว่าการชนะการแข่งขันจะเป็นสิ่งที่ยาก แต่สิ่งที่ยากกว่านั้นคือเราจะชนะตัวเองได้อย่างไรในทุก ๆ วัน เพราะมีหลายคนหลงลืมไปว่าการชนะตัวเองเป็นสิ่งที่สำคัญกว่า - เราจงใส่ใจในสิ่งที่ควรใส่ใจ แล้วเราจะได้เรียนรู้จากทุกสิ่งตรงหน้านั้น หากว่าเราไม่สามารถเรียนรู้สิ่งใดได้เลย เราก็จะเพิกเฉยสิ่งที่ล้ำค่าที่สุดไป นั่นคือปัจจุบันขณะนี้

As a high school student, in the next few years, I'll make some major life decisions about where I'll go to college and whether I'll riddle myself with decades of student debt. How will I make the best decision? My guest today, Dr. Maria Konnikova, had a similar question about her own life. How do you assess a situation and decide the best option for yourself? And, if Fate pulls a fast one on you, how do you react accordingly? In search of answers to these questions, Dr. Konnikova, a journalist and Ph.D. in psychology, tackled the game that best simulates our constant decision-making in life. And what is that game? It might surprise you. It's poker. For her NYT bestselling 2020 book, The Biggest Bluff, Dr. Konnikova took a deep dive into poker and ended up becoming an international poker champion and winner of over $300,000 in tournament earnings. In this episode of Aiming for the Moon, we'll discuss what this taught her about decision-making and how we can apply these skills to our own lives.Topics -Why poker?Games of complete information vs games of incomplete information and how they simulate lifeLife skills gleaned from pokerThe process of decision-making vs the result of the decisionWhat is the biggest bluff?What books have had an impact on you?What advice do you have for teenagers?Dr. Maria Konnikova is the author of Mastermind and The Confidence Game. She is a regular contributing writer for The New Yorker, and has written for The Atlantic, The New York Times, Slate, The New Republic, The Paris Review, The Wall Street Journal, Salon, The Boston Globe, Scientific American, Wired, and Smithsonian, among many other publications.

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova. This week we revisit our great conversation with Maria Konnikova. Maria graduated from Harvard, earned her Ph.D. in psychology from Columbia. She's written two New York Times bestsellers: The Confidence Game and Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes, along with her most recent release of The Biggest Bluff, a New York Times bestseller, one of the Times' 100 Notable Books of 2020, and a finalist for the Telegraph Best Sports Writing Awards for 2021. While she had zero poker experience before her first trip to Las Vegas in the fall of 2016, she has now won multiple tournaments, including the PCA National Championship, and finished second at an Asian Pacific Tour, Macau event.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… those looking to be confident when facing change.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…  You might think that it's all about luck when it comes to being successful in life, but Maria differs. The old adage that luck is opportunity and preparedness meeting sounds great in theory but is only applied to positive aspects of people's lives.  But luck just happens. It's not personal. It's not about a linear career path that led you to a moment of success. In fact, successful people often come from the outside.  They have a true advantage because their mind is more flexible; they are not hemmed in by convention to behave in a certain way. They are free from preconceptions.   WHAT I LOVE MOST… the marriage of psychology, game theory and poker that uncovers insights to be a better leader and change agent. Being an outsider may come with challenges, but having a fresh perspective on the established set of wisdom may be the key to unlocking the unmet potential in yourself and your company.  Get uncomfortable - seriously, it makes you (and your business) better.     Running time: 40:58 Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani on social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn   Find Maria on social: Website Twitter Facebook   Maria's Book: The Biggest Bluff

“A man loses his horses, and yet who is to say whether it is benefit or bane?”It's a common Chinese proverb, and it refers to a fable contained in Huai Nan Zi, a Han Dynasty book of Daoist thought written by a prince of the imperial family and his group of friends.The fable has had a long and varied life. It has been quoted, or misquoted, in texts and media from the book "The Biggest Bluff" by Maria Konnikova to the film "Charlie Wilson's War" written by Aaron Sorkin. It seems to me to echo the Book of Job in the Bible. It's applicable to the ethical theory of utilitarianism. And it helps us put into perspective all that goes on in the world of politics and policy, from the US withdrawal from Afghanistan to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

In this episode, Ellen sits down with Maria Konnikova. Maria is an author, producer, and has a PhD in Psychology from Columbia University. They discuss the ways that chemistry can lead us astray, her latest book The Biggest Bluff, and how to turn a bad hand into an advantage. Learn more about your ad choices.

[Note: This is a previously broadcast episode from the vault that we felt deserved a fresh pass through your earholes!] What We Discuss with Jocko Willink: When making a decision, worrying about variables that can’t be controlled is a waste of time. A better outcome is likely if we learn to focus that wasted effort on factors that can be controlled. Understand why taking ownership of your mistakes, personal issues, and outcomes gets better results than trying to pass the blame to someone else. What does discipline = freedom mean? How do you stop small weaknesses that sometimes permeate discipline from having a negative impact on significant decisions? Is there such a thing as a natural leader? And much more...

A few years ago, Maria Konnikova took a leave from her job as a psychology journalist at The New Yorker to try something new: become a professional poker player. Hoping merely for a good story to write about, she stunned everyone -- including herself -- with her accelerated mastery of the game, winning big tournaments and earning hundreds of thousands of dollars within just the first couple of years. Maria joins Cardiff to discuss what she learned in the process about her own psychological makeup, her capacity for change, and how we can all take lessons from poker to make better decisions. It's the subject of her latest book, The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, And Win, which is now available in paperback.Links from the episode:Maria Konnikova is on Twitter at @mkonnikovaMaria's book, The Biggest Bluff (https://tinyurl.com/kexnvd4n)“Remembering Walter Mischel, with Love and Procrastination” in The New Yorker (https://tinyurl.com/zrbae2xx)Maria's writing in The New Yorker (https://tinyurl.com/y8n88yy8)Cardiff and Aimee are on Twitter at @CardiffGarcia and @AimeePKeaneSend us an email!

In Episode 116, Quinn wants to know: why is simply giving people money the most effective way to 1) help them make positive changes to their lives and 2) erase global poverty along the way? To help him understand the answer, he brought on Caroline Teti and Michael Faye from GiveDirectly. Caroline Teti (or just Teti, as she likes to be called, we swear) works on the ground in Kenya, Nairobi, handling recipient advocacy for GiveDirectly's global operations. She's our new favorite person, sorry Michael. Michael Faye is the co-founder and president of GiveDirectly, and he's great too. Seriously! You're great. So great. But Teti, wow. Anyways! There's so many amazing programs out there helping folks in extreme poverty by providing food, water, clothing, medicine, and more.  But different people need different things on different days. Michael and Teti have done tremendous work to explore the data behind poverty and how to fix it: and it turns out the best way to get people what they need is to give them the resources -- namely cash -- to make those decisions themselves. None of us will end poverty, individually. But anyone can lift just one person out of poverty, so listen in and let's do this thing.

Her latest book,The Biggest Bluff, is now out in paperback.  It was a fun and fascinating conversation exploring the balance of skill and chance in life.

This week we are locked in and blurting out wrong names with Maria Konnikova. Maria brings her wealth of psychological insights to the table for a discussion on ‘Get Rich Quick' schemes, short-term thinking, negative experiences at the poker tables, con artistry, control and poker players being their own bosses. We also talk about Anna Khait's alleged participation in a plot to spy on FBI agents and Alex O'Brien's BBC article 'How a $10k poker win changed how I think'. Fittingly, Dara's strategy nugget has a psychology bent as it is a neat trick to help players who take their beats badly. The show ends by us previewing Maria's upcoming paperback release of ‘The Biggest Bluff' which goes on sale June 8th!

Poker isn't about lying and your capacity to adapt and learn is even bigger than you probably expect.

Your correspondent's initial thoughts on Maria Konnikova's excellent new book "The Biggest Bluff," in which she learns how to play, and succeeds in, live tournament poker.0:00 Introduction/COVID/podcast plans3:20 "The Biggest Bluff"

Maria Konnikova, author of the book, "The Biggest Bluff" is Bernard Lee's guest. 

Maria Konnikova explores how our mind learns, drawing insight from both psychology and poker. Maria has a B.A. in psychology from Harvard and a PhD in psychology from Columbia University. The author of two New York Times bestsellers, "The Confidence Game" and "Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes," Maria writes about psychology and its application to real-life situations. We discuss Maria's new book, "The Biggest Bluff" and what life lessons we can take and apply from the game of poker.   When people ask Maria what she does, how does she like to reply? Her first introduction to the character of Sherlock Holmes by her father Maria got into poker to better understand the line between skill and chance. Where is that line? There's an idea in psychology called the locus of control. How does it work? Poker showed Maria's confidence issues. How did she fix them with poker? How have Maria's ideologies of psychology changed after her journey into poker? Maria explains speech play, playing with words. What is it? How does it work? Erik Seidel listened quietly and then told Maria one phrase: "Less certainty. More inquiry." The lesson from Sherlock Holmes "I both see and observe." How does Maria view failure today? 'Bird by bird' has become an inner mantra for Maria whenever she is feeling overwhelmed. The Gambler's Fallacy is the faulty idea that probability has a memory: you are "due" for a win. Was there a con artist Maria admired for their craft? We con ourselves. What did Maria learn? Intuition and how this is playing out in Maria's mind? What did poker show Maria that she had to unlearn?   LINKS   Maria Konnikova's Website https://www.mariakonnikova.com   Support Act delivering crisis relief services to artists, crew and music workers  https://supportact.org.au/about-support-act/   The Mojo Radio Show Patreon page https://www.patreon.com/themojoradioshowpodcast   Top 10 Cowbell songs of all time https://ultimateclassicrock.com/cowbell-songs/   The Mojo Radio Show website themojoradioshow.com   The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/   The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod   The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson   Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.
