Liar's Poker

Liar's Poker is a high-stakes game played among financiers where players bet on the value of a secret number, often related to financial markets, while trying to deceive opponents about their true bids. In a broader sense, it symbolizes the bluffing and risk-taking culture in Wall Street investment banking, highlighting themes of trust, deception, and strategic manipulation in financial dealings. The term gained popularity through Michael Lewis's book, illustrating the intense, competitive environment of Wall Street in the 1980s.
