The Ultimate Stack
This poker documentary The Ultimate Stack (available for free on YouTube) has an interesting premise. It follows a single poker player starting out playing the WPT Championship and then switches to whoever beats them, essentially “following the chips" to the end.
IMSA ❤️ Poker
The International Mind Sports Association, an organization founded in 2005 and with a terrible website, “officially recognized poker as a Mind Sport, placing it alongside established disciplines like chess and eSports.”
So… I guess we’re playing a mind sport tomorrow. Cool?
How To Win… in Red Dead Redemption
I kind of love this article written for Red Dead players who might have never played poker before. The tips include:
First and foremost, understand the ranking of each Poker hand.
Upon obtaining a strong hand, try not to bet a huge amount right away; instead, bait the NPCs into raising the pot value.
Also, grasp the position of everyone at the table by paying close attention to the dialogue. NPCs tend to be optimistic if they have a strong Poker hand.
Bluff in both low and high-stakes games, as long as you have extra money to spare. It essentially forces the opponent to fold their hand, so raise the pot even when your odds of winning are low.
