The Official Red Chip Poker Podcast

• 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

• Is Expensive Poker Training A SCAM? · S7E2

  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
