One of the best parts of poker is sitting next to people from all walks of life - different races, genders, ages. It’s the only game where you could be sitting next to a 45 yo cowboy, a 21 yo in a hoodie and across from a 70 yo grandma - and they’re all trying to felt you.

Everything about the poker journey is enjoyable - grinding at zero - first few wins - first $10k, $50k, $100k scores - overconfidence followed by massive downswings - losing entire bankroll - quitting and getting a regular job The whole timeline is beautiful. Take it all in.

Most poker players never consistently win or make money because they can’t admit that they suck. They stay delusional and believe they're a good player who somehow just keeps running bad and losing flips. If you were actually good, you’d be winning. You’re not. Time to study.
