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.

In the study of sound waves and optics, the term transmission loss refers to how a signal grows weaker as it travels across distance and between objects. In this book, Chelsea Jennings reimagines the term in poems that register attenuated signals, mark presence and loss, and treat the body as an instrument sensitive to the weather of immediate experience. Threading together landscapes, abstract paintings, family heirlooms, maps, manuscripts, and photographs, these poems follow the seasons and traverse the spectrum of visible light. Vivid and precise, Transmission Loss brings us to the boundary between inside and outside, ""As if what the hand knows / could be held in the hand.

He played in casinos around the world with a plan to make himself richer than anyone could possibly imagine -- but it would nearly cost him his life.Semyon Dukach was known as the Darling of Las Vegas. A legend at age twenty-one, this cocky hotshot was the biggest high roller to appear in Sin City in decades, a mathematical genius with a system the casinos had never seen before and couldn't stop -- a system that has never been revealed until now; that has nothing to do with card counting, wasn't illegal, and was more powerful than anything that had been tried before.Las Vegas. Atlantic City. Aruba. Barcelona. London. And the jewel of the gambling crown -- Monte Carlo.Dukach and his fellow MIT students hit them all and made millions. They came in hard, with stacks of cash; big, seemingly insane bets; women hanging on their arms; and fake identities. Although they were taking classes and studying for exams during the week, over the weekends they stormed the blackjack tables only to be harassed, banned from casinos, threatened at gunpoint, and beaten in Vegas's notorious back rooms.The stakes were high, the dangers very real, but the players were up to the challenges, consequences be damned. There was Semyon Dukach himself, bored with school and broke; Victor Cassius, the slick, brilliant MIT grad student who galvanized the team; Owen Keller, with stunning ability but a dark past that would catch up to him; and Allie Simpson, bright, clever, and a feast for the eyes.In the classroom, they were geeks. On the casino floor, they were unstoppable.Busting Vega$ is Dukach's unbelievably true story; a riveting account of monumental greed, excess, hubris, sex, love, violence, fear, and statistics that is high-stakes entertainment at its best.
