Hi Charlie,
Thanks for opportunity to travel with you to Singapore. It was great
getting to know you.
I am intrigued by the prospects for GPSTS as I believe it raises a number of
intellectually and socially compelling questions. I am eager to help tell
its story and look forward to working with you on the media content further.
I will get started on the items we discussed as soon as I return home and be
in touch with questions or content for you to review as things come
together.
I am also very grateful for the chance to meet Kevin, Roz and Carla. Their
work fascinates me and I want to do everything I can to help them make their
various projects succeed. I have a feeling theirs is a friendship I will
have for many years to come.

go ahead
cut the most wonderful stuff you can find in what you’ve got and put it up
but if you are cutting you are not shooting which seems a shame unless you have a twin
go ahead
you have full support

Charlie,
I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye before we all had to leave – I wanted to take an opportunity to congratulate you on such an incredibly wonderful launch of the GPSTS and to thank you for giving me this opportunity. I’ve had such a wonderful experience working with you on this project, and I look forward with such excitement to the great things we’re going to do. Hell, even if we don’t accomplish another thing, you’ve made it possible for me to travel around the world to talk about poker with some of the brightest people I’ve ever met. Thank you for this opportunity, and I look forward to what we’re going to accomplish together.
Warmly,
Andrew
P.S. We’re not a bad teaching team, are we? J

Dear Professor Nesson,
My name is Henrik Norsk Hoffmann and I am an attorney with the Danish law firm DANDERS & MORE.
Among others, I am specialised in gaming law, and am considered the leading expert in Denmark within that area. I am also member of the international organisation International Masters of Gaming Law.
I recently represented the Danish Poker Association in a criminal case, where the issue at hand was whether or not a poker tournament is a game of skill. I won the case, as the district court in Lyngby, a suburb of Copenhagen, ruled in favour of the Danish Poker Association, deciding that a poker tournament is a game of skill.
In Financial Times Weekend last weekend I read an article in which Roger Blitz referred to you and your project on global poker strategic thinking societies in his article “Harvard professor flushes out answer to life’s hard calls: poker”.
I very much agree with your views on poker, and would be interested in learning more about your project, and maybe discuss the various skill elements of the game.
I am looking very much forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Henrik Norsk Hoffmann

Dear Profesor Nesson,
I recently came across an article in the Financial Times which states that you are pushing the teaching of poker in order to “teach respect, business acumen and even war strategy”. I thought you might be interested in the approach that a former colleague (Professor Ernie Appleton) and I have developed, regarding the teaching of engineering design, based on an analogy with card games and poker in particular. We’ve recently written a paper on the analogy – available via http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a779334270~db=all~order=pubdate.
I note in particular the FT comment that “some of these instincts for survival hardly encouraged notions of mutual trust”; on the other hand, we have drawn the analogy that Toyota’s approach to design effectively puts them in a poker game as 4 different players, each of whom know the other’s hand and is able to share cards to try to make up the best hand to beat the competition …
Anyway, please feel free to come back to me if this approach is of any interest and the best of luck for your “global poker strategic thinking societies”.
Yours sincerely,
Tim

yes tim your approach is decidedly of interest. elaboration of the lessons thinking poker teaches against case studies of companies that have learned them will be key to legitimating global poker thinking.
