Annie Duke has leveraged her expertise in the science of smart decision making to excel at pursuits as varied as championship poker to public speaking. On February 6, 2018, Annie’s first book for general audiences, “Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don’t Have All the Facts” will be released by Portfolio, an imprint of Penguin Random House. In this book, Annie reveals to readers the lessons she regularly shares with her corporate audiences, which have been cultivated by combining her academic studies in cognitive psychology with real-life decision making experiences at the poker table.
For two decades, Annie was one of the top poker players in the world. In 2004, she bested a field of 234 players to win her first World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet. The same year, she triumphed in the $2 million winner-take-all, invitation-only WSOP Tournament of Champions. In 2010, she won the prestigious NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship. Prior to becoming a professional poker player, Annie was awarded a National Science Foundation Fellowship to study Cognitive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.
Annie now spends her time writing, coaching and speaking on a range of topics such as decision fitness, emotional control, productive decision groups and embracing uncertainty. She is a regularly sought-after public speaker, addressing thousands in keynote remarks at conferences for organizations ranging from the Investment Management Consultants Association to the Big Ten Conference. She has been brought in to speak to the executive teams or sales forces of organizations like Marriott and Gaylord Resorts, among others. She is a sought-after speaker in the financial sector, with clients such as Susqehanna International Group and CitiBank. Annie regularly shares her observations on decision making and critical thinking skills on her blog, Annie’s Analysis, and has shared her poker knowledge through a series of best-selling poker instruction and theory books, including Decide to Play Great Poker and The Middle Zone: Mastering the Most difficult Hands in Hold’em Poker (both co-authored with John Vorhaus).
Annie is a master storyteller, having performed three times for The Moth, an organization that preserves the art of spoken word storytelling. One of her stories was selected by The Moth as one of their top 50 stories and featured in the organization’s first-ever book. Her passion for making a difference has helped raise millions for charitable causes. In 2006, she founded Ante Up for Africa along with actor Don Cheadle and Norman Epstein, which has raised more than $4 million for Africans in need. She has also served on the board of The Decision Education Foundation. In 2009, she appeared on The Celebrity Apprentice, and raised $730,000 for Refugees International, a charity that advocates for refugees around the world. In October 2013, Annie became a national board member for After School All-Stars. In 2014, Annie co-founded How I Decide, a nonprofit with the goal of helping young people develop the essential life skills of critical thinking and decision making. In 2015, she became a member of the NationSwell Council. In 2016, she began serving on the board of directors of The Franklin Institute, one of America’s oldest and greatest science museums.

Zwischendurch werden immer wieder hilfreiche Tipps gegeben, diese sind auch durchaus brauchbar. Die ein oder andere Anregung kann man natürlich auch aus diesem Buch ziehen.
Vor allem der unschlagbare Preis, macht dieses Buch sehr interessant. Man bekommt sehr günstig eine sehr ausführliche Beschreibung von gespielten Händen. Man sollte zumindest ein wenig Erfahrung mit Heads-Up bzw. Poker allgemein haben. Damit man hin und wieder einen Vergleich zu sich selbst ziehen kann. Ob man das auch so gespielt hätte usw.



It shows that even the most seasoned pros make mistakes and I love how they own up to these mistakes. By having two voices involved, it shows some of the contrast and how not everyone agrees on how to deal with the same situation. It also shows that even the pros can second guess themselves, play badly, and just do stupid things.
I love the honesty and explanations of what went wrong and how things went right. The bits where they do an aside lesson was very valuable and greatly added to the book. It isn't a book that will teach you the step-by-step on how to play heads up. Remember, heads up is a much different game than regular holdem, even tournaments.
I recommend this book to anyone that is looking to improve their game. Realize that this is very high end poker and may not always reflect the types of heads up contests you may see on the internet sites. Some of the things they do would only work well against pros. Average Joe wouldn't see the subtle bits and would be oblivious. This is where you get into "fancy play" syndrome.
Great book. Increased my respect for the authors and really cleared up some questions. Very well done. I am so glad I bought it the first day it came out on the kindle.

Heads-up poker strategy has advanced significantly, and the best are applying much more math, range analysis, and GTO thinking than is reflected in this book. There is no "my villains range of hands looks like....." thought processes. And the authors say things that are statistically silly. For example, can one really "establish an image" in 5-10 hands? This combination makes it useless for an advanced player.
The book would be interesting for a inexperienced player if more analysis or thought process was shared.
The book earns more than one star because it does provide whole hand histories for several matches, and it is interesting to hear how some people think.
