Poker Woman by Ellen Leikind Pdf

PokerWoman teaches women how to apply the principles of poker to all aspects of their lives to get what they want and are worth, even if they've never played a hand of cards. Poker isn't just a card game-it's a metaphor for life. A game of skill and psychology combined with luck, and making the most of the cards you are dealt. Poker is traditionally dominated by men, and Ellen Leikind encourages women to get in the game, play to win and bet yourself! Chapters on: - Breaking into the boys club - Picking up on non-verbal cues - How to bluff at the right time - Knowing when to raise the stakes and be aggressive - Understanding different personality types - Playing to win as opposed to avoid losing Whether the game is cards, or business PokerWoman teaches women how to overcome their fears and doubts, find their voice, figure out what they want, get what they are worth and claim their rightful seat at the table. Using personal stories from successful women, the book illustrates how to sharpen instincts, pick up on signals, and think strategically to get what you want in life. Although easy-to-follow instructions and games rules are included, PokerWoman is not a "how to play" book instead, it teaches women how to win their own game.

The Biggest Bluff by Maria Konnikova Pdf

The New York Times bestseller! A New York Times Notable Book “The tale of how Konnikova followed a story about poker players and wound up becoming a story herself will have you riveted, first as you learn about her big winnings, and then as she conveys the lessons she learned both about human nature and herself.” —The Washington Post It's true that Maria Konnikova had never actually played poker before and didn't even know the rules when she approached Erik Seidel, Poker Hall of Fame inductee and winner of tens of millions of dollars in earnings, and convinced him to be her mentor. But she knew her man: a famously thoughtful and broad-minded player, he was intrigued by her pitch that she wasn't interested in making money so much as learning about life. She had faced a stretch of personal bad luck, and her reflections on the role of chance had led her to a giant of game theory, who pointed her to poker as the ultimate master class in learning to distinguish between what can be controlled and what can't. And she certainly brought something to the table, including a Ph.D. in psychology and an acclaimed and growing body of work on human behavior and how to hack it. So Seidel was in, and soon she was down the rabbit hole with him, into the wild, fiercely competitive, overwhelmingly masculine world of high-stakes Texas Hold'em, their initial end point the following year's World Series of Poker. But then something extraordinary happened. Under Seidel's guidance, Konnikova did have many epiphanies about life that derived from her new pursuit, including how to better read, not just her opponents but far more importantly herself; how to identify what tilted her into an emotional state that got in the way of good decisions; and how to get to a place where she could accept luck for what it was, and what it wasn't. But she also began to win. And win. In a little over a year, she began making earnest money from tournaments, ultimately totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. She won a major title, got a sponsor, and got used to being on television, and to headlines like "How one writer's book deal turned her into a professional poker player." She even learned to like Las Vegas. But in the end, Maria Konnikova is a writer and student of human behavior, and ultimately the point was to render her incredible journey into a container for its invaluable lessons. The biggest bluff of all, she learned, is that skill is enough. Bad cards will come our way, but keeping our focus on how we play them and not on the outcome will keep us moving through many a dark patch, until the luck once again breaks our way.

WALK THE WALK by John Mooney Pdf

In the years immediately after World War 2, tens of thousands of men and women broke the law each day by betting with illegal street bookmakers. Walk The Walk is a story about growing up amongst the gambling fraternity in the fishing community of Hull, where getting an edge over the bookies, by fair means or foul, was the main preoccupation for many. Walking races, and the often frenzied betting that accompanied them, were at their height in the early 1930's but the author has transposed the event to the era he knows best - the 1950's - and brought together in this fictional account a host of characters. Most of those taking part have backed themselves for that one big win and bookie Hedley Doyle faces ruin if the wrong winner emerges, which is why he's hatched a 'get out of jail' plan. Will it be 'The Bounder', a hard-bitten trawlerman, who emerges the winner? Or Dennis Batte, who thinks he's invincible and desperately needs to succeed? Or will it be Jo Jones, the buxom barmaid with the colourful past?

The Casino, Card and Betting Game Reader by Mark R. Johnson Pdf

Casino games and traditional card games have rich and idiosyncratic histories, complex subcultures and player practices, and facilitate the flow of billions of dollars each year through casinos and card rooms, and between professional players and amateurs. They have nevertheless been overlooked by game scholars due to the negative ethical weight of “gambling” – with such games pathologized and labelled as deviance or mental illness, few look beyond to unpick the games, their players, and their communities. The Casino, Card and Betting Game Reader offers 25 chapters studying the communities playing these games, the distinctive cultures and practices that have emerged around them, their activities and beliefs and interpersonal relationships, and how these games influence – both positively and negatively – the lives and careers of millions of game players around the world. It is the first of a new series of edited collections, Play Beyond the Computer, dedicated to exploring the play of games beyond computers and games consoles.

The 52 Weeks by Karen Amster-Young,Pam Godwin Pdf

Edging into forty-something, Karen and Pam found themselves in a state of stuck. They had checked off many of their major life goals—career, husband, children, friends—but they’d lost momentum. After griping over drinks one night, they came up with a plan to face their fears, rediscover their interests, try new things, and renew their relationships. They challenged themselves to try one new thing every week for a year—from test-driving a Maserati to target practice at a shooting range to ballroom dance lessons—and to blog about their journeys. They quickly realized it was harder than they ever imagined but came through it with a sense of clarity and purpose that has them itching to share the possibilities with the millions of middle-aged women out there who feel the same way about one or many areas of their lives. Getting "unstuck" doesn’t have to mean running a marathon, traveling the world, or ending a relationship with your partner. Through their experiences and a good dose of no-nonsense advice, Karen and Pam show readers how achieving small goals can give you a renewed sense of accomplishment and how you can keep growing, learning, and moving forward at any age. Interspersed with personal stories is expert advice from doctors, psychiatrists, artists, and even a poker diva (who also happens to be a Fortune 500 executive).

The Blues Lyric Formula by Michael Taft Pdf

This book is the first rigourous and detailed exploration of exactly how blues singers used formulas to create songs, and it more than amply fills the gap in the the study of the blues, where the structure and content of the lyrics have been less fully explored than the musical form. Focusing on the songs recorded by African-American singers for pre-World War Two commercial recording companies, this is an excellent structural analysis of the formulaic composistion of blues lyrics. This book gives a step-by-step description of the rules implicit in this formulaic structure and inspires new discussion of lyric structures. A wide array of readers will find this insightful and informative: from students of African-American music, cultural studies, history and linguistics, to Blues fans fascinated by exactly how the lyrics of this influential music style are written.
