I'm actually reading his book called [I]Blink[I] and it is pretty interesting. It discusses the idea that we think we make better decisions if we slow down and think it out, but in actuality, we are able to make judgements and decisions in a split second that are as acturate, and it most cases more accurate than decisions we make when we think about things. It's pretty interesting and potentially helpful for poker since you tend to make a lot of quick decisions.

One way I think it applies is that when I see something I'm not sure of and I start to weigh the pros and cons, I lose a little objectivity and start wanting to go a certain direction. For instance, when I'm playing and I've got a guy that is constantly reraising me or shoving over me it really pisses me off. Eventually, I'll have a mediocre hand (say 2nd pair 2nd kicker or something similar) and he shoves over me, I may believe that I'm beat...but if I think about it for a while, I can talk myself into a play that is -EV (I do this a lot, BTW).

Anyway, pretty interesting book.
