To implement his idea, professor will announce the formation of the Global Poker Strategic Thinking Society (GPSTS) on August 19.

According to professor Nesson’s opinion, poker strategies may be used as an educational tool not only in the universities, but also in secondary schools and community centers all over the world.

The first GPSTS intention place chapters will be based at Harvard.
