The Official Red Chip Poker Podcast

• Why Some Poker Decisions Don’t Matter (And The Ones That Do) · S7E5

  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

• Poker: A Game of Skill, or Just Gambling? · S7E3

  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
