About this episode
Can anyone truly read a poker face? Join Zachary and Emma as they speak with Maria Konnikova, who takes us on her journey from earning a PhD in psychology to becoming a professional poker player. Maria sheds light on the gender disparities within poker, detailing the unique challenges women face in this male-dominated arena and sharing her triumphs that have garnered her respect and recognition beyond the poker table. Beyond the cards, Maria's fascination with the darker aspects of human behavior leads her to explore con artists and the psychology of cheating.
