Poker

Wollten Sie immer schon wissen, warum ein Bluff manchmal funktioniert und manchmal nicht?Haben Sie sich schon einmal gefragt, ob die Karten wirklich abhängig machen?Ist ein irrtumsfreies Wissen der Karten möglich?Braucht die Lüge einen Lügner?Ist es in Poker überhaupt möglich, ehrlich zu sein?Diese und andere Fragen will der Autor im vorliegenden Buch beantworten.Die Lektüre soll die Leserin bzw. den Leser eine Antwort auf die Frage geben: "Wie funktioniert Poker eigentlich?"Das Ziel ist ein besseres Verständnis des Spiels und konsequenterweise ein größerer Erfolg am Pokertisch.'Zufall und Lüge' ist die bislang umfangreichste philosophische Analyse des Pokerspiels. Die vorliegende Theorie bricht mit der mathematisch geprägten Tradition und nähert sich der Materie stattdessen mit erfrischender Neugier. Mit der Spaltung in ein intellektuelles Kartenspiel einerseits und ein intuitives Wettkampfspiel andererseits legt Balber einen wichtigen Grundstein für ein vertieftes Verständnis von Poker. Die logische Rekonstruktion der Spielmechanik, die einen Großteil der Theorie ausmacht, dringt tief in die verborgenen Mechanismen des Spiels ein und legt sie bis ins kleinste Detail offen.Die Gesamtausgabe ist die edle Hardcover-Edition für Sammler, die in keiner Bibliothek zum Thema Poker fehlen sollte. Sie enthält die beiden Einzelausgaben in ihrer jeweils zweiten korrigierten Auflage.
