George Osborne As A Poker Player
George Osborne as a poker player is a rather wicked thing to write about. Clearly he is out of his depth in the game of politics and as we know politics is poker for megalomaniacs, but the megalomaniacs need to be clever and he certainly is not. Why did he string his whole career to […]
Hillary Clinton As A Poker Player

Yes Hillary Clinton knows how to make moves and play her cards correctly, but she is a bit more than that. In fact she would be more like a chess Grand Master, rocket scientist and a […]

Well she maybe the lowest of the low in terms of parliamentary power structure, but […]

Most people treat the players as horses, hence the phrases ‘stable’, ‘horse’ etc, but, I tend to look at my players as business partner, […]

Poker E.S.P part deux
Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – […]
