The real secret behind that success?

You might not know this guy: he’s the 25th richest person on the planet.

Everyone fears bluffing nitty players, because they only play monsters.

But they’re bluffing goldmines hiding in plain sight.

Here’s the counter-intuitive way to turn their discipline into your profit machine: 🧵 You're in an 8-handed cash game with a 100bb stack.

UTG opens to 3bbs.

Action folds to you in the big blind with K❤️9❤️.

What's your response? 👇

I’m 40.

I did everything right — gym 5x a week, clean meals.

No symptoms. No warning. Then one sentence from a doctor shattered it all.

What I learned changed how I live (and it might change you too): 🧵 My friend @altcap had mentioned a preventative heart scan for months.
I kept putting it off. I felt perfectly fine.

Eventually, I booked it, just to be thorough. Ten minutes in and out.

Then came the call:
“You’ve got dangerous plaque buildup. Your heart may be in rough shape.”

Most poker players lose for one reason:

They don’t know how to use numbers.

Here’s the dead-simple math that turns you
from break-even to dangerous: 🧵👇 Let’s start with Pot Odds.

You’re facing a bet.

Should you call?

Use this:
Call / (Call + Pot After Call)

Example:
Villain bets $100 into $200.
You call $100 → Pot becomes $400.
→ 100 / 400 = 25%

You need 25% equity to break even.

But what if you hate math?

What if I told you the same math used to plan nuclear strikes…

Is used to bluff millionaires at the poker table?

The secret? Game Theory. And it’s shaping your job, your love life, and your bank account.

Master it before it masters you: 🧵 In 1962, the world stood on the edge of nuclear war.

Missiles in Cuba. Kennedy on one side. Khrushchev on the other.

Each had two options:
• Strike first
• Step down

But it wasn’t just politics.

It was Game Theory, live. 👇

Your brain is bluffing you every day.

And it’s costing you. Big time.

Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman designed 7 brutal questions.

They’re a BS detector for your mind.

Most people walk straight into mental traps.
Be the exception, not the victim. 🧵 #1: Am I thinking fast or slow?

Kahneman discovered your mind runs on two systems:
• Fast – instinctive, emotional, automatic
• Slow – logical, effortful, deliberate

One helps you survive.
The other helps you win.

But when you mix them up?
That’s when it gets dangerous.

Most people think poker is
just gambling and luck.

But it’s actually a discipline builder, in a world designed to keep you impulsive and broke.

These 7 hidden lessons made me $10M,
and will give you an unfair advantage
in business, investing, and life: 🧵 I started playing in 2003.

making decisions you hate. 👇

🚨 10 Mandatory Cash Game Tips That Will Transform Your Game! 🚨

Want to win more $$$ at the tables? Avoid costly mistakes? Play like a pro?

Here’s a crash course on the FUNDAMENTALS you must master to dominate cash games! 🧵👇 1️⃣ Stop Open Limping – It’s Burning Money 🔥

If you open limp in cash games—especially in a rake-heavy environment—you are setting money on fire.

An open limp means you are the first to voluntarily put money in the pot by just calling the big blind. This is a huge mistake because:

You allow multiple players to see a cheap flop, giving them great odds to outdraw you.

You let the big blind in for free, meaning they can make random strong hands that would have folded vs. a raise.

You invite aggressive players to attack your limp, putting you in tough spots.

The more multi-way pots you play, the more rake you pay — Rake is the silent killer in cash games!

Instead, always raise when you are first in—a standard 3-4 big blind raise is best. I don't care if the standard raise in your games is to something like 7BBs. Do not model your strategy after the strategy of bad players.
