Most video poker players sit down and lose money they didn't plan to lose. Not because they're unlucky. Because they don't know the math.

I learned this the hard way.

I played by feel. Trusted my gut. Watched my bankroll evaporate session after session, telling myself it was just "bad variance."

It wasn't. I was making mistakes I couldn't even see.

Everything changed when I stopped guessing and started studying. The math isn't complicated, but it's unforgiving. Play the wrong machine, miss the right hold, ignore bankroll sizing, and the casino edge eats you alive.

Once I understood the strategy cold, my sessions lasted longer. My losses shrank. And eventually, I started finding the +EV opportunities that actually flip the odds.

I trained myself through thousands of hands, spreadsheets, and casino hours. Now I run [@SmaksVideoPokerTraining]. Teaching others what I wish someone had taught me.
