Episode 55: All In (with Maria Konnikova)

Two Psychologists Four Beers

Psychologist and author Maria Konnikova joins the show to talk poker, life, and what one teaches you about the other. She talks with us about working with Walter Mischel as a graduate student, her decision to leave the academic track to become an author, and her latest book, The Biggest Bluff, in which she describes how she became a tournament-winning professional poker player.

Bonus: who will win our round of Lodden Thinks?

Special Guest: Maria Konnikova.
