2016-04-23 Learning From The Game of Poker

As a speculator and an investor, I value the lessons that can be learned from the game of Poker.

I recently came across the blog of Haseeb Qureshi, and noted that he has a series of articles that are particular interest (and quite well written):

• http://haseebq.com/how-to-live-as-a-poker-player-part-1
• http://haseebq.com/how-to-live-as-a-poker-player-part-2/
• http://haseebq.com/how-to-live-as-a-poker-player-part-3/

http://haseebq.com/seven-things-poker-taught-me/

I may also pick-up a copy of his book, How to Be a Poker Player: The Philosophy of Poker

The interesting value in all of this - is how some of this thinking can be applied to making oneself a better investor, speculator, trader in the markets...
