WHY DO YOU PLAY POKER?
Every poker player has a reason for sitting down at the table — but few ever stop to ask the question that truly matters: why do you play poker?
For some, it’s the thrill of risk. For others, it’s the money, the challenge, or the quiet satisfaction of making the right decision under pressure. But whatever your reason, it shapes everything — from the hands you play and the bets you make to how you handle winning, losing, and learning.
Most players focus on how to play better. Fewer ever look inward to understand what drives them to play in the first place. Yet the answer to that single question is often the dividing line between steady improvement and endless frustration.
THE RAMPAGE EFFECT IN POKER
The Rampage Effect in Poker isn’t about one player. It’s about a mindset that’s reshaping the modern game — a collision between mathematics, ego, and media.
In the YouTube era, poker isn’t just played; it’s performed. Cameras have changed what many players chase. Once upon a time, the measure of skill was long-term profit — today, it’s often short-term visibility. The algorithm rewards volatility, not discipline, and some players have adjusted their strategy accordingly.
THE PARADOX OF PATIENCE
Patience has long been called a virtue, but in poker it’s a paradox. The very quality that keeps you disciplined and profitable can also make you appear passive, predictable, or even timid. That’s the essence of The Paradox of Patience — you win by waiting, yet waiting too long can cost you everything.
In everyday life, patience is about endurance; in poker, it’s about intention. Every fold, every silence, every measured breath is an act of calculation. True poker patience isn’t sitting idly until the deck rewards you — it’s staying mentally engaged while the cards refuse to cooperate. You’re observing betting patterns, stack sizes, and emotional cues while the impatient players lose focus.
GTO MYTHS
WHY SOLVERS FAIL IN LIVE GAMES
GTO myths have shaped modern poker thinking more than any other idea in the last decade. For many players, Game Theory Optimal strategy seemed to promise a perfect solution to the game. It appeared scientific, balanced, and unbeatable. Solvers created the feeling that if you followed the charts and executed the “correct” frequencies, you could not be exploited.
However, this belief created a powerful illusion.
