The famous mathematician John Nash died in a car crash last month, along with his wife, Alicia. They were on their way home from Norway, where Mr. Nash had received the prestigious Abel Prize for his contributions to mathematics. He had previously won the 1994 Nobel Prize in economics. Many people outside of academic circles knew of Nash only through his biography, A Beautiful Mind, and the 2001 film of the same name.
What do Nash and his contributions have to do with poker? Plenty. You may have heard people talk about an “unexploitable” poker strategy.
