Kalshi has raised more than $1 billion at a valuation of $22 billion in a new financing round, according to a person familiar with the situation bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Before I was a known player, I remember plenty of tournaments where I’d bust, walk away from the table, and hear them talking about how I “had it coming.” Usually because I was making +EV open shoves, iso raises, 3-bets, that made them uncomfortable. …this is the way.
This is what GOOD poker feels like at a table full of 🐟🐠🐡 A player opens to 2.5bb. Three players call. You look down at A♠️J❤️ on the button. Good hand. But it plays terribly 5-ways. So you squeeze to 12bb. Back to the original raiser… He shoves 60bb. You fold. And instantly the table erupts. "It was obvious he had AK. What did you think was gonna happen?" "We could’ve just seen a flop for 2.5bb." "This guy always does this shit." "Why wouldn’t you want to see a cheap flop?" Now look around the table. On average, maybe 2 of these players will win long-term. And they’re probably not the ones giving you advice. The reality of good poker: When the optimal play doesn't work out, it will often make you look like the idiot to those who don't get it. Sometimes the table thinks you’re overplaying your hand. Sometimes they think you’re impatient and unaware. But good poker isn’t about looking smart. It’s about making the highest EV decision over and over again. Study the game. Talk strategy with people who actually work on their game. And trust the process. Even when the table thinks you’re the fish. 🐟
