November 26, 2009
If you are looking for a good read, and you are interested in poker, than
the new book by author James McManus might be right up your alley. The book,
“Cowboys Full: The Story of Poker” is not just a good book, but coming in at
528 pages it is a large book as well.
McManus believes that poker has had a big influence on us and our leaders.
He says that how you play poker says a lot about you as a person, and our
fascination with it says a lot about us as a culture. He backs up these
claims with facts, and lists of powerful Americans who are not only
fascinated with the game of poker, but are avid players.
He says that poker logic determines how we deal with situations in our
lives, and how our country has been run. He says the whole act of bluffing
alone is a tell tale sign of how one handles adversity. He says that how you
play is determined by your genetic and social code – and your willingness to
win or lose has a lot to do with it as well.
Ever since poker became as popular as it is in the United States, it has
determined how we react to situations. Whether or not we go to war is
predetermined by how we play the game of poker. He says that poker’s
strategies can be seen time and time again on the battlefield, and that
powerful people turn to the game to both enhance their negotiation and
battle skills, as well as using it as a release. If you are interested in
hearing more about McManus’ theories on poker you might want to get the book
and give it a go – you will be pleasantly surprised.
