LAWYERS' POKER: 52 LESSONS

The author, believing that the skills of a great poker player are exactly the skills a good lawyer needs -- being master tacticians, calculating odds with great speed and precision and being able to anticipage and manipulate their adversaries -- drives home the point that there can be better lawyering through poker.  He shows exactly how the tactics at the table can be adapted to litigation, negotiation and all other aspects of law practice. He incorporates concepts such as betting for value, slow play and reverse bluffing. In his review of the book, noted gaming attorney I. Nelson Rose suggested this would be a good read for poker players and for new lawyers. 275 pages Hardbound 2007
