With biting wit and a sharp eye for life's absurdities, Tom Schneider's unusual career path has enabled him to write Oops! I Won Too Much Money: Winning Wisdom . . . from the Boardroom to the Poker Table. Not taking himself too seriously, Tom wrote a book filled with hilarious true stories that provide lessons from the games of poker, business, and life. He manages to weave all three topics together seamlessly by summing up each chapter with an unusually insightful, often humorous, moral. With a career as a certified public accountant and as a former president and CFO for three Arizona-based companies, Tom found that his background in business and management was the perfect ingredient for success at the poker table. He has been a professional poker player for the last four years, and has played against the toughest players in some of the biggest games in the world. He has finished "in the money" four times at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. It's incredible how much business and poker relate to one another, as Tom has discovered. Oops! I Won Too Much Money provides a unique way of viewing everyday experiences from business, poker, and life. Each chapter concludes with a moment of "He's right. I never thought of it that way before!" Business professionals and poker players looking for an insightful, fun read will find it here.

Tom Schneider, a former CFO, is currently a professional poker player. After noticing the similarities between the business and the gaming worlds, he realized that he had a story to tell...actually, he had 61 stories to tell. This book is the result of Tom's experiences in the boardroom and at the poker table. People from varied backgrounds, including members of corporate America and gamblers from Vegas, have taught Tom how to read people. You will enjoy reading Tom's humorous, educational, and sometimes poignant renditions of games he has played both well and badly, people he has met who have changed his life, and hands he has won...and lost. Ultimately, you'll come to realize what Tom now knows: everything in life is a gamble.
