Poker Rewards: Selective Aggression

Reject Normalcy

Normal isn’t a virtue. It’s a lack of poker courage. Being “normal” means avoiding tension, but in poker, you must seek it. Normal people dodge crises; poker players create them. In NLH, you plan for crisis to eliminate failure. Monotony is death—seek upheaval and drama instead.

Make Poker an Experience

NLH isn’t about fun; it’s an experience. It’s not a sport; it’s a concussion! Good poker is less “A-ha” and more “Holy-shit.” This book is your helmet and pads in a full-contact sport. The more contact you make, the more you win.

The Power of Aggression

You can’t play safe. Playing within your means shows a lack of imagination. Aggression makes you money. NLH rewards aggression—it’s the fuel of domination. When everything seems under control, you’re not going fast enough.

Aggression has a cost. You must risk losing to win and use discipline to avoid being outplayed. You can’t control luck, but you can master skill.

Pressure Creates Diamonds

Aggression creates pressure, and pressure makes diamonds. Winning consistently is possible, and you deserve it. But poker doesn’t give what you deserve—it gives what you negotiate.

Betting Over Calling

In NLH, betting beats calling. Betting lets you win with a better hand or force folds. Calling only wins if you’re already ahead.

Harness Aggression

The gambling world is a kindergarten of misplaced blocks. You need "T"—testosterone—and "A"—aggression. But any toddler can throw a fit. NLH is about controlling aggression and harnessing it for wins.

The antidote to anger is patience. Yet patience’s opposite—aggression—also wins. This paradox defines NLH.

Fluidity Wins

To win, be fluid and formless like water. Control the options—make others play the cards you mentally deal. Keep them in suspense—be unpredictable.

Transform Your Perspective

Changing perspective reshapes your game. Dramatic moments—like hitting a miracle river—can transform you.
