I suggest learning poker basics. After playing poker for 8 years and having it as a primary income, it changed my view on a lot of things. For example, the things described in the article I call it statistics, not luck and after playing for a long time, I don't really believe too much in luck anymore.
- swyx 4y agoi have actually played underground poker for a couple years :) and then was a hedge fund guy so i guess pro poker for a little more. Annie Duke's Thinking in Bets is the eigenbook for this sort of thinking. But even Annie is playing the metagame around monetizing her poker career outside of poker rather than inside it, maximizing her luck by doing all the speaking and writing she does.
- actualwitch 4y agoNo need to go this deep, even. Knowing about expected value and applying it irl will get you decently far.
- kissgyorgy 4y agoYES! That's probably the single biggest thing poker can teach you which will plenty use in life.
