Today will be the last of a few articles I've written on poker insights I've found from reading the work of Robert Trivers, a prominent evolutionary biologist who has extensively studied the role of deception in both humans and other species.

Trivers devotes more space to self-deception than to other forms. Human beings are exquisitely refined self-deceivers — and if you think you're not self-deceptive, it's only because you are!
