Some missions will also help you earn additional Aura points and reach a new status on the site. Don't forget this: once enough users achieve Expert status on Cardmates, we'll launch a dedicated GGPoker freeroll ($250 GTD) just for them ♣️

The qualifying period for the second quest runs from 2 July to 8 July (inclusive). Complete all three missions below during this period to be in the running for the prizes ⬇️

These hands have completely changed how I played

Before then, I thought I knew how most poker players played. Turns out, I didn't.

I opened with A♠4♠, and one player called. The flop gave me a weak pair. We went bet, call, bet, call, and by the river, the board looked scary enough that a straight was possible.

I checked.

He shoved for about $15.

A few months ago, I would've folded without thinking twice. But I've spent a lot of time studying how these players actually play their hand (one thing they love is bluffing)

So I took a deep breath and called.

He turned over A2.

I wasn't holding a monster hand, but it was enough.

That hand taught me something,

Never assume every player thinks the same way. 

Since then, I've tried to pay less attention to what I think they're supposed to do and more attention to what they actually do.

You don’t really remember most winning hands in poker. They come and go. What sticks are the ones where you had to think.

I was in a hand where I raised preflop, feeling pretty comfortable. Then the opponent 3-bet shoved over the top. I look down… nothing special. Just one of those “do I really want to risk this stack right now?” spots.

This is where poker stops being about cards and starts being about decisions.

You start asking yourself things like:

• What range is he really doing this with?
• Is he trying to protect a strong hand or just pushing me off mine?
• Am I folding too much here, or is this just a clean fold?

In that moment, it’s easy to focus only on your hand. But the better question is always: what story is the action telling?

Sometimes you make the call and run into the top of their range. Sometimes you fold and later realize you were actually ahead. That’s poker. The result never tells the full truth only the decision does.

The real edge comes from being honest about your choices, not emotional about outcomes. The hand ends, the chips move, but the thinking stays with you.

And over time, that’s what actually makes you better.

What a game, if there was ever a game of highs and lows. England/Mexico had it all. 

Don't think I've watched a game that I've literally gone from elation and being ecstatic, to feeling low then back to ecstatic......before sheer panic for almost half hour. 

I've said it before......I hate being an England fan. I think there should be a study taken.......Do England fans have a lower life expectancy than the rest of the world, I reckon there were a few heart attacks because of this game 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 

So proud of every one of our lads

Im trying to source a defibrillator for the quarter final 🤣🤣🤣🤣
