Poker society launched by academic
2007-08-22 08:45:23
A Harvard Law School has announced the creation of the Global Poker Strategic Thinking Society (GPSTS).
At a conference in Singapore, Professor Charles Nesson spoke of how the society will offer workshops to secondary schools and community centers around the world.
These workshops will demonstrate how poker can be used to aid strategic thinking, risk assessment and money management.
Interested parties include the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and the Icelandic Poker Association
"The formation of GPSTS comes out of using poker as a highly effective educational tool at Harvard," said Professor Nesson.
"We believe that poker can be a superior means of teaching critical life skills including negotiation, resource management, risk assessment and numeracy."
The GPSTS will also sponsor team poker matches between law, business and other graduate-level programs.
According to Harvard's campus newspaper, Professor Nesson wrote a program on his home computer in the early 1980s that could play five card stud.
