Having been down on her luck and at sea in her personal life, American writer Maria Konnikova sought out her life answers in the game of poker. Within a year, she was a national champion and had amassed more than $80,000 in winnings from one tournament alone. She joins the show to discuss her remarkable experience, which is outlined in her new book, The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win.
