Ted Talk Poker
Poker pro Liv Boeree back in mid-February gave a speech at the TEDxManchester conference, and in it she discussed the ways in which people can use probabilities to improve our “everyday decision making.”
On Tuesday, the video of Boeree’s talk was uploaded to YouTube. Boeree is currently fifth on the women’s all-time poker money list with more than $3.5 million in lifetime tournament scores. She’s widely considered one of the best in the game.
“We can’t be certain which path the future will take, but we can control the likelihoods of the paths we want,” she said during the talk. That sounds like a poker tournament.
