The Poker MBA: Winning in Business No Matter What Cards You're Dealt by Greg Dinkin and Jeffrey Gitomer is a rather unique book that makes several valid points regarding the parallels between poker and business. It is an obvious choice for anyone interested in sound business practices as well as poker methodology.
The book makes savvy reference to the fact that many key business strategies mimic those frequently observed in poker - such things as taking risks, stating clear goals, and rewards. The Poker MBA stresses that certain shared attributes of both poker and business make up the essential talent mix necessary for both successful poker playing and executive level business decision-making.
Author Greg Dinkin previously authored The Finance Doctor and he is a former employee of the Bicycle Club. He continues making money on the side playing poker. Dinkin lends his firsthand experience as a player and poker industry worker to the substance of the book. Co-author Jeffrey Gitomer is a respected circuit speaker and consultant who regularly shares his business insight with corporate giants. Gitomer has played poker for four decades. Using their combined wealth of experience and knowledge, the authors have compiled chapters discussing such topics as strategy, partnerships, and bankroll in a fashion that will appeal to even those who do not play poker. The exceptional business/poker analogies are supplemented by interviews with business and poker heavyweights like Warren Buffet and Doyle Brunson.
The Poker MBA offers a rare meshing of two profit driven worlds - poker and business. The book will especially appeal to those interested in small business tactics or those hoping to learn how to better manage their poker winnings.
