The article is low at content. So I'll try to condense it:

- Don't play (or make big decision) when tired, stressed or distracted

- Thinking in probability, not in winning or losing terms: EV = Probability x V -or- EV = SUM (Pi x Vi)

- Process is more important than result: if you did everything right but still lost, you're fine. Don't dwell on your losses, move on.

- You can increase your winning significantly if you get trained. There are probability cards to study Poker, buy them.

I'm not interested in people in the story so I didn't summarize them.

PS: Woman can win at poker, too if that's not obvious.




- poker is about evaluating probabilities, not about reading in others players mind

- you can't beat bad luck, but you can lose on bad evaluation of probabilities
