The Grid 004 ft. Maria Konnikova – Seven Deuce Offsuit

Award winning author, psychology PhD, New Yorker writer and PokerStars Pro Maria Konnikova talks about the most notorious poker hand, seven-deuce offsuit. The author of the Confidence Game, Mastermind and the highly anticipated upcoming book, The Biggest Bluff  talks about a hand from a 2018 World Series of Poker side event that gave her a new perspective on bluffing.  

Maria dove into poker in 2017, starting out with small buy-in events under the tutelage of eight-time WSOP bracelet winner Erik Siedel. Since then, she has earned almost 300K in live cashes, highlighted by a Championship victory at the PCA National in 2018, less than a year after she started playing.

In their conversation, Maria talks about how bluffing with a zero equity hand can be empowering, while Jennifer offers a theory on why players focused on the GRID can veer toward under bluffing without good randomizing techniques. Maria advises how to study most effectively before a major series and muses on poker styles of some of the greatest writers of all time.
