Poker an appeals
I’ve played a bit of poker with friends, never for high stakes and never with any expertise. I’ve never played at a casino or online. But something about the New York Times review of this book caught my attention. It might provide some analogs — and maybe some insights — into how to handle appeals.

I just read "The Biggest Bluff," by Maria Konnikova. It's about poker.
