Quants love poker?

[pinkjigglypuff]

I've noticed a lot of quants liking poker. Do you like poker? Do you play poker online? What are some good books or video tutorials in learning poker? How much have you made so far?

Some do, some prefer chess, some prefer soccer.

I'm just reading The Quants and it opens with an intense poker match.

I know some quants who love cooking. And judging from posts in this thread, let's not stereotype and come away thinking "quants" like this and that. Outside of work, everyone is different

 

[Joy Pathak]

I prefer Blackjack.

 

[alain]

No. Quants hate baseball.

Maybe "wanna be" quants hate baseball.

I read the first chapter and couldn't read the rest. It's so fictionalized.

Tmaloney, believe me when I say I was going to reply with the same exact thing. I truly don't know how someone can fully read that book. I don't even believe I got through the entire first chapter...

I'm with Alain on this

 

[TBeas]

I like lots of sports!

quants love pocker and bridge. Especially developers willing to program a bot handling multiple players.
