"The more I get reps in, the more I understand, the more I learn, the more my baseline grows-limiting my downside in certain scenarios that I understand and opening up the upside,"
"It's real, you have a lot of self-awareness when you start to play poker, about your physical self, about your mental self, and you don't test yourself in that way anywhere else."
"Poker can be an incredible training tool, or piece of your toolkit for business, for money, for life,"
"And right now, men are using it, and women are not."
Poker functions as a practical crash course in making high-stakes decisions with incomplete information. Repeated poker experience builds judgment and intuition that can reduce career losses, expand upside opportunities, and improve baseline performance. Poker practice develops skills in weighing probabilities, managing risk, allocating capital, and maintaining emotional steadiness amid outcome swings. Playing poker increases self-awareness of physical and mental responses under pressure and uniquely tests patience and temperament. Men are more likely than women to gain informal practice from poker and related sports gaming, contributing to gender differences in comfort with risk-taking in business and trading environments.
