"Poker is a mind bending game
of bets, calls, raises and folds....
that is only sometimes played with cards"
Wendeen H. Eolis
People Reading Secrets
People Reading Secrets offers up the lessons that led to Ms. Eolis' moniker "Power Poker Dame" in business, politics, card rooms, and far beyond the felt. The secrets are revealed in her 12 Point System for People Reading Excellence; a curriculum designed to enhance opportunities to excel and enrich the quality of one’s life at work, at home, and on the road.
Extraordinary People
Up close people reading studies are lying in wait with Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno, Carl Bernstein, Richard Parsons, Wayne Newton, Don King, Alvin Toffler, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Terrence Lanni, Liza Minelli, Alex Rodriguez, Rod Steiger, President Nelson Mandela, Prince Hassan, Senator Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Elizabeth Gilbert, Governor George Pataki and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, among others.
Power Poker Dame
Ms. Eolis is also the author of Power Poker Dame, a high-voltage collection of adventures of a business-savvy, politically connected CEO who happens to play No-Limit Texas Hold 'em at the toughest tables on the planet, in conference rooms and card rooms alike, including the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson, Bertrand Grospelier, David Williams, Chris Moneymaker, and Howard Lederer, among others.
From legally prohibited underground card rooms to upscale glittering poker palaces, her stories unfold amid a grand mosaic of colorful, cunning, eccentric, adrenaline-hooked characters on a quest for cash, power, and perks. In the process, she learned much about how to succeed in poker games that extend far beyond the felt.
Power Poker Dame chronicles an ambitious woman's unusual path through the converging worlds of business, politics, and poker. Wendeen tells her story not merely through interviews and observations as a reporter, but more personally as a longtime player, with a sometimes heart-wrenching, often humorous, and always thought-provoking look at the people who navigate through a wild variety of poker situations with varying degrees of grace.
