Annie Duke

Annie Duke is, to me, one of the most interesting minds to come out of competitive play. A WSOP bracelet and a stint as poker's leading female money winner would be a career for anyone, but what fascinates me is what she did afterward. Translating life at the felt into a serious framework for decision-making under uncertainty is genuinely valuable work. Few people have lived so intimately at the intersection of luck and skill, and fewer still can explain it clearly. I trust her writing precisely because the lessons were earned, not theorized from a safe distance.
