@FarazJaka It's in a section toward bottom of that; kind of hard to see. I assume she hired people to do PR management for her in poker community, but who knows

The way Annie Duke is viewed inside poker vs outside poker couldn’t be more different. She was an ambassador for UltimateBet during the superuser scandal (my instinct is she probably didn’t know about it). She later made a public post saying she regretted endorsing the site, which was an okay public response, not amazing, not awful. Then in 2011 she helped launch the Epic Poker League. An invite-only tour where top players played $20k buy-ins with a larger than normal $2.5k fee. The structure created big incentives to play because leaderboard winners were promised things like a $1M freeroll and a $400k Player of the Year prize. For many of us, myself included, that was a big reason we were playing those tough field high buy-in events. Then the company filed for Chapter 11 and none of those incentives were paid out. Annie said they were trying to find investors to keep the league alive… and after that we never really heard what happened. Did she even try to push ownership to make things right for the players? I honestly still don’t know, but it left the poker world feeling pretty betrayed, and she just disappeared from the industry with no statement. Years later, the book Thinking in Bets becomes a huge success in the business world, and we are seeing her promoted by all sorts of platforms outside of poker. Most people outside of poker don't even know about any of the above history.

How a $4M poker champion turned every decision you make into a bet — and why that changes everything Annie Duke, Ph.D. (@AnnieDuke — WSOP bracelet winner, $4M in tournament winnings, national bestselling author of Thinking in Bets, Special Partner @ First Round Capital, PhD in Cognitive Psychology from Penn) "A good bet is one that carries positive expectancy. What a good bet is NOT — is one that wins." We cover: - Why every decision you've ever made is a bet (even ordering off a menu) - The green light vs. red light rule for separating outcomes from decisions - How to build an EV calculation for something as messy as choosing a career - Why loss aversion is secretly an uncertainty problem — and how great risk takers solve it - When to trust your gut vs. when gut feel is just bias in disguise - The pre-mortem framework — how to find your blind spots before it's too late - Mental time travel: the parenting tool Annie uses to raise better decision-makers - How she explained luck, hard work & probability to her 4 kids at the dinner table Thanks for making time, Annie. Been a fan of yours for a while.

Mike Huckabee (US ambassador to Israel) said Israel should "take all of" the middle east. He says this because he's a fundamentalist christian and believes in the rapture. He has the delusional belief that Jesus will return on a winged horse and bring him to heaven (after killing most Jews) but only if Israel has all the land. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE MAKING LIFE & DEATH DECISIONS

“Chase Hughes”-related traffic increases to my website, and I know that yet another gullible podcast/show has promoted him, causing thousands of people to google his name. It’s like the “some people are being scammed” Bat Signal.
