Lawyers’ Poker: 52 Lessons that Lawyers Can Learn from Card Players

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Great poker players are master tacticians. Not only do they calculate odds with lightning speed and astonishing precision, but they also cunningly anticipate and manipulate the actions of their adversaries. In short, they boast skills that every lawyer can envy. This highly entertaining work might best be summed up as “better lawyering through poker.” Steven Lubet shows exactly how the tactics of the poker table can be adapted to litigation, negotiation, and virtually every aspect of law practice. In a series of engaging and informative lessons, Lubet describes concepts like “betting for value,” “slow playing,” and “reverse bluffing,” and explains how they can be used by lawyers to win their cases. The best card players, like the best lawyers, have a knack for getting their adversaries to react exactly as they want, and that talent separates the winners from the losers. Lawyers’ Poker is an irresistible guide to successful lawyering and an enjoyable read for anyone with an interest in law. No poker knowledge required.

The Book of Bluffs: How to Bluff and Win at Poker

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

DESCRIPTION: Twenty years ago, Mike Caro wrote the book on what to look for in a player’s movements, gestures, and facial expressions–their “tells”–to determine if they were bluffing, and it remains one of the bestselling poker books of all time. But what Caro didn’t do was teach players how to bluff. Enter Matt Lessinger, a professional poker player and columnist, who in THE BOOK OF BLUFFS shows players how to get their opponents to fold–no matter how strong a hand they’ve been dealt. Lessinger reveals how, with the correct timing and artistry, bluffing will allow a player to win while holding an inferior hand–the very essence of poker.

Strip Poker

For Teresa Knight, it is a game like no other. A game of bluff and chance whose stakes go far beyond erotic titillation. Where violence and voyeurism collide and sex is about to become the last line of defense. Hired to find out who’s blackmailing a prominent black politician who likes her sex on the wild side, Teresa becomes a player in an underground game of strip poker. It’s a quest that will tap into her own voracious sexual appetites and introduce her to some wildly uninhibited men and women, all of whom are leading secret lives.

But as the reluctant sleuth descends deeper into a world of pleasure and fantasy, murder suddenly ups the ante. From smoky underground clubs to uptown mansions to a shadowy corporate entity whose tentacles reach into the highest levels of government, Teresa is on an increasingly obsessive search to expose a killer, unravel a mystery-and have a little fun along the way. . . .
