Have you ever called a big bet, lost the hand, and immediately thought, I knew I should’ve folded!? Or maybe you made a hero call, won, and convinced yourself it was pure genius? This poker mental trap—what we call the hindsight reflex—is one of the biggest leaks in poker. It skews your perception, making you judge decisions based on results rather than sound strategy. In this episode of the Red Chip Poker Podcast, we break down why this happens, how it warps your thought process, and most importantly, how to fix it. Coach w34z3l dives deep into a hand where Hero faces a tough 5-bet all-in decision with Ace-King and explores how players misinterpret the quality of their play based on what their opponent turns over. Are you making logical, EV-positive decisions, or are you falling into results-oriented thinking? What you'll learn in this episode: ✔️ Why results-oriented thinking leads to poor long-term play ✔️ How to separate strategic errors from mindset leaks ✔️ The key questions to ask yourself after every big decision ✔️ How to make better, more objective hand reviews If you want to level up your poker strategy and stop second-guessing yourself based on the last hand you played, this episode is a must-study. **LINKS** · PRO Membership: https://redchippoker.com/pro-membership · Poker Intuition Explained: https://redchippoker.com/poker-intuition-explained/ · Learning Poker In 2025: https://www.splitsuit.com/learning-poker-6-things-to-learn-first **JOIN US ON DISCORD** Join us on Discord today: https://redchippoker.com/discord…

Poker isn’t always black and white, but too many players treat it that way. In this episode of the Red Chip Poker Podcast, we dive deep into one of the biggest mindset shifts that separates winning players from the rest: understanding which decisions actually impact your win rate and which ones you can stop overanalyzing. You’ve probably heard debates at the table: Should you always c-bet second pair? Should you always call in a given spot? The truth is, many hands are played with mixed strategies, meaning there’s no single correct line—and getting lost in solver outputs won’t make you a better player. Instead, the biggest leaks in most players' games come from clear, black-and-white mistakes—things like failing to defend the big blind, missing profitable river value bets, or calling without the right odds. In this episode, Coach Weasel breaks down real poker examples to show you: ✔ When small strategic choices don’t matter as much as you think. ✔ Why focusing on high-frequency mistakes will improve your game faster. ✔ How to identify clear-cut EV errors and stop making them. If you want to stop second-guessing every hand and start playing confident, +EV poker, this episode is for you. **LINKS** · The Advanced Poker Workbook: https://www.splitsuit.com/advanced-poker-workbook · Positional Plays Every Pro Knows: https://redchippoker.com/position-preflop-postflop/ **JOIN US ON DISCORD** Join us on Discord today: https://redchippoker.com/discord…

Is poker really gambling? 🤔 It’s a question that sparks debate among players, casual fans, and even lawmakers. In this episode of the Red Chip Poker Podcast, we break down the real meaning of gambling and whether #poker should be considered a game of chance, skill, or something in between. We start by examining the dictionary definitions of gambling and why they don’t always capture the nuances of poker. While poker involves risk and money—like traditional gambling games such as blackjack or roulette—there are key differences that separate it from pure chance-based betting. We explore the role of skill, probability, and sample size in determining whether a poker player is truly gambling or making a calculated investment. You'll also learn about the three key factors that separate gambling from investing, including expectation, repetition, and risk management. Whether you're a professional poker player or just starting out, understanding these concepts can help you play smarter and avoid costly mistakes. Additionally, we discuss the ethics of gambling, the difference between poker and casino games, and even how governments classify poker in tax law. Plus, if you've ever been told that playing poker is "just gambling," this episode gives you the perfect response! **LINKS** · CORE Membership: https://redchippoker.com/launch-core · Another Take On Poker vs. Gambling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viS9EYf_-Kw **JOIN US ON DISCORD** Join us on Discord today: https://redchippoker.com/discord…

In this episode of the Red Chip Poker Podcast, we delve into the world of expensive poker training content. They scrutinize whether high-priced poker courses and boot camps, such as a $3,000 course or a $14,000 boot camp, are genuinely worth their price tags. The discussion covers the psychology behind perceived value, the ethics of marketing, and the motivations behind inflated pricing. They also examine the historical context by reflecting on the infamous “Let There Be Range” ebook, its hefty price tag, and its polarizing reception. This episode aims to provide listeners with practical advice on evaluating poker training content, identifying red flags in sales pitches, and making informed decisions about investment in poker education. We emphasize caution and encourage skepticism toward promises of guaranteed success and revolutionary secrets in the high-stakes poker training industry. **LINKS** · GTO Gems 1 Audiobook: https://gtogems.com/audio1 · Red Chip Poker: https://redchippoker.com/ **JOIN US ON DISCORD** Join us on Discord today: https://redchippoker.com/discord…
