New Book Blends Poker and Lawyer Strategies

If you are a poker playing lawyer, then you likely know of one Greg Raymer, 2004 World Seires of Poker champion, who has retired from his job as a patent lawyer after winning. If your aspirations are to stay in the courtroom, but you love your poker game, then the book Lawyers’ Poker: 52 Lessons that Lawyers Can Learn from Card Players (Oxford University Press, 2006) by Steven Lubert might just be for you. The book mixes poker stories along with lawyer stories to deliver a text that teaches lessons on practicing law and playing poker.

Poker terminology:

TRIP - Three of a specific kind, as in "Trip sixes".
COMPUTER HAND - Texas Hold'em hole cards of Q-7 offsuit. More generically, any hand that computer analysis/simulation determines is positive but turns out to be difficult to play in practice.
RAISE - To wager more than the minimum required to call, forcing other players to put in more money as well.
ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
