The Evolution of a Poker Player

  1. Fan: Approaches poker like a game, the first spark of poker enthusiasm.
  2. Student: Starts thinking about it like education, shifting from intuitive to analytical.
  3. Rookie: Finds a space to dominate at his level (niche) and avoid costly mistakes.
  4. Professional: Shifts into career mindset, a disciplined grind with an investment perspective.
  5. Established Pro: Focuses on high-ROI situations and keeping the passion alive for long-term success.
  6. Specialist: Masters the poker ecosystem (deeper understanding of the industry), diversifies & is more versatile (location/travel, networking, reach).

Betting Robust (Out of Position)

Betting hands that can continue both as bets or as check/calls on a lot of runouts, they almost always need to have some form of equity beyond fold equity.

Betting Polar (In Position)

Betting our very strongest hands and our hands with the best blockers against our opponent’s continuing range.

Expanding Your Repertoire

In Hold’em, every note is familiar, and mastery comes from perfecting a well-understood form. You’ve trained your ear, your hand, your instincts. You know the keys.

But PLO? That’s jazz. It’s wilder. The chords are richer, the improvisation deeper. You still need the fundamentals, but now you’re playing in a world with more combinations, more chaos, and more opportunity for brilliance.

As you embrace the complexity, you start hearing the music differently. You realize the chaos has a rhythm of its own. And once you find it, the freedom is intoxicating.

You’re not abandoning the piano — you are experiencing a natural evolution of your journey, building on your skills by embracing a new style.
