Re: The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King
This book is fantastic and I also couldn't put it down. It was very interesting to see Beal not only realize that the pros often made fundamental mathematical mistakes, but realized this was the ground at which he could gain his advantage.
Coming into the first full table games at the Bellagio as a fish, you immediately see how smart the man is. He realizes that the high stakes make amateurs uncomfortable and passive, trying to save bets. So he began raising the stakes until the professionals themselves began playing scared.
Awesome stuff, and Howard Lederer seems to be a pretty smart guy.
