Author Information
Tom Schneider, a former CFO, is currently a professional poker player. After noticing the similarities between the business and the gaming worlds, he realized that he had a story to tell...actually, he had 61 stories to tell. This book is the result of Tom's experiences in the boardroom and at the poker table. People from varied backgrounds, including members of corporate America and gamblers from Vegas, have taught Tom how to read people. You will enjoy reading Tom's humorous, educational, and sometimes poignant renditions of games he has played both well and badly, people he has met who have changed his life, and hands he has won...and lost. Ultimately, you'll come to realize what Tom now knows: everything in life is a gamble.
