Do you think differently about Money because of poker ?
Hi Cardmates
Before poker, I viewed money quite differently. Losing a small amount bothered me a lot.
But after playing poker for a while, I realized that variance, risk, and emotional control started to change the way I make decisions, even outside the tables.
At the same time, poker also taught me that not every bad result means a bad decision.
Because we can improve from those. I think that mentality helped me to be calmer in some situations... but sometimes it also made me think too much about everything.
Has poker also changed the way you approach money, risk, or decision-making in real life?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions
Happy Sunday Cardmates
It's the last day of the week....
If you're having a bad day, just know a poker player lost $1M this week playing cashgame.
He is a former candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives and he had a brutal poker session Thursday night on Hustler Casino Live. But he turned it all around in just one hand, before later losing it all back.
He might have more than that from where his money is coming from, but losing that much will really mess with your mentality.... he was literally mumbling as he exited the casino.
If you're also down from a loss, just shake it off..... you'll make it back. There is always going to be another tournament, another game to make your losses back.
My second monitor is officially locked into the live feeds for Day 3 of the PGA Championship over at Aronimink. We are officially into "Moving Day," and the action is already hitting the course.
PGA Championship: The Mind Game is On
If you thought Friday’s round was brutal with what Scottie Scheffler called "absurd" pin locations, today is going to completely test everyone’s mental stamina. The field has shifted gears, and the leaderboard is a powder keg.
Live on the Course: Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka teed off at 15:00 BST. They are out on the front nine right now, fighting to erase their over-par starts and mount a massive weekend comeback from +1. Warming Up: World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is heading to the range to prepare for his 18:40 BST tee time, sitting just two shots back at -2. The Leaders Waiting: The unheralded co-leaders, Maverick McNealy and Alex Smalley, are forced to wait out the tension until their late 19:40 BST tee time tonight to defend their -4 lead. The Poker Parallel: Golf on a Saturday afternoon is pure deep-stack tournament strategy. It isn’t about hitting heroic, high-variance shots; it’s about avoiding the big mistakes, managing the terrain, and keeping your composure when you find yourself in the rough. One double-bogey can tilt you right out of contention, just like overplaying a weak hand can bust your stack before the final table.: Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka teed off at 15:00 BST.
