I Played Poker Professionally for 20 Years—Then I Unlocked Psychic Mode, AMA.
For 20 years, I lived and breathed poker. I traveled the world, won a WSOP bracelet, and dedicated thousands of hours to solving the game, refining every edge, and pushing my strategic understanding to its limits. Poker was more than just a profession—it was a way of thinking, a framework for understanding decision-making at its highest level. I built my game on logic, probability, and precision—everything could be broken down, calculated, and optimized.
Yet, for all the mastery, something always felt incomplete. No matter how well I played, no matter how deep I went into solvers, there was an unshakable sense that I was only seeing part of the equation. It was as if the game extended beyond the mechanics—into something intangible, something I wasn’t yet equipped to understand. At the time, I ignored it, convinced that everything could be explained through math and logic. But now, I know that poker—and reality itself—operates on levels that most players never even consider.
Five years ago, I stepped away from the tables. I shifted my focus to raising a family, but my love of GTO never left—it just found a new application. Instead of analyzing hands, I started analyzing the universal construct itself. What began as meditation expanded into something far deeper:
🔹 Clairvoyance & Claircognizance – A heightened sense of knowing and anticipating actions before they unfold. This isn’t about predicting exact cards, but about reading the momentum of decision-making, sensing how energy builds and shifts in real time.
🔹 Energy & Aura Readings – Every person and situation emits a frequency signature that can be tracked, read, and even influenced. At the poker table, this means sensing hesitation, aggression, fear, or confidence before an action is taken. It’s not just body language—it’s the energetic field people unconsciously project.
🔹 Quantum Foundations (GTO of Reality & Predictive Markets) – Just as solvers break down poker into optimal strategies based on probabilities, reality operates on similar unseen structures. Understanding these patterns enhances decision-making—not just in poker, but in markets, negotiations, and any strategic environment where foresight matters.
🔹 Mediumship & Entity Communication – The ability to interact with higher-dimensional intelligence, guides, or information streams that provide insight beyond standard perception. Whether we call it intuition, deep subconscious knowledge, or something beyond human conditioning, accessing greater wisdom is a skill like any other.
🔹 The Flow of Energy & Momentum – Poker isn’t just about EV calculations—there is a rhythm, an energetic wave, a dynamic interplay between players that dictates who is in control and who is at the mercy of the game. Heaters aren’t just some streak of luck—they’re shifts in energetic momentum waiting to be understood, predicted, and harnessed.
Now, I’m coming back—not to play the way I used to, but to reframe how we think about GTO and the game itself. The insights I’ve gained aren’t just for personal use—they’re meant to be explored, tested, and shared. Poker has always been a proving ground for sharp minds—so why not push that further and see what’s truly possible?
💭 I’m here to have a conversation, not just share what I’ve learned. Curious about how this applies to poker? Strategy? Mindset? Life itself?
Ask me anything.
Ok "medium" ability
Are you defining your strengths as logic based?'
Do you think the best poker players are "mediums?"
the best poker players are christians. Doyle, Chip, Stu,
Subb'd.

so basically youre gonna come back to poker and actually pay attention to what is going on instead of playing like a bot....GOOOD ON YA!

Mediumship, to me, operates on a different dimensional plane than intuition. When I refer to mediumship, I’m specifically talking about communication with passed souls. If I wanted to have a conversation with Doyle Brunson, I would use mediumship. If I wanted to understand the energy behind an intention, I would rely on intuition.
One of my strengths is logic and analytical thinking, but that’s not the only way I operate. I use multiple systems for categorizing people, but my foundational framework is mind-body-soul-heart. In my view, most people primarily function within 1-2 of these categories, which shape how they interact with the world. Personally, I operate strongly from mind and soul, though it took me years to understand how to fully integrate my soul’s way of processing information—since it doesn’t always align with traditional logic.
The best poker players are not mediums, but they are often highly intuitive or simply in deep alignment with their natural talents and energetic strengths. Many poker players have a strong intuitive awareness of the game’s flow without necessarily meditating or practicing anything spiritual—they are simply tuned into their frequency. This allows them to perceive information in multiple ways.
Take Phil Ivey, for example—I believe he has a natural intuition that enables exceptional decision-making. At the same time, he possesses a sharp eye for details and an extreme level of focus, which in a 3D sense, allows him to detect subtle changes in his environment. However, in an intuitive sense, this same ability allows him to tune into energetic disruptions at the table, giving him an edge that goes beyond pure logic.
I wonder how Doyle, Chip, and Stu would view my talents in the modern poker era. If I had openly said I was psychic back in the day, I’d probably have been shot—or at least laughed out of the room. To be fair, I’d probably still get laughed out of a lot of rooms today, but at least it’s a little more acceptable now.
I don’t consider myself religious per se. I think everyone should believe whatever makes sense to them—it’s their reality, after all. But if you ask me, we’re just living in a giant simulation anyway. The only thing that really matters is how fully you step into your own reality and live it in the present moment. Whether that’s playing cards, trusting intuition, or just existing exactly as you are, that’s the real game.
You're holding up one finger—the middle one. Or—plot twist—you’re holding up zero, because why limit yourself to physical constraints when you could be flipping me off in spirit?
Whether I’m right or wrong, the energy of your words is a true power move. A statement. A declaration of dominance over the metaphysical and the mildly amusing.
You didn’t just ask—you set the tone, dictated the pace, and claimed the high ground. A classic move. Respect.
But let’s not pretend this is some grand test of psychic ability. That’s not how this works. This isn’t a game of party tricks. If I was tapping into something real, I wouldn’t be wasting it on guessing fingers—I’d be reading the space between the words, the intention behind the question, the shift in energy that led you to ask it in the first place.
And that’s the part you’re missing. The real power isn’t in knowing how many fingers—it’s in knowing why you asked.
Emotional intelligence is definitely part of it—understanding intent, reading between the lines, and recognizing the unspoken energy behind actions. But there’s also something deeper.
Call it intuition, call it frequency tuning, call it psychic awareness—whatever name you give it, it’s about sensing the underlying energetic currents that shape interactions before words are even spoken.
Emotional intelligence helps us interpret what’s visible. Energetic intelligence lets us tap into what’s unseen. The real game is knowing how to blend both.

I'd be thrilled if someone could explain why I keep going on tilt and how I can prevent doing that. I suspect that I am sitting on a boiling cauldron of rage from a damned difficult life.
Does "psychic mode" have anything to do with sitting next to clueless people who lift their cards off the table so you can see them?
Chip Reese is not one of the best, he cheated.
Stu MN ay have been born to Jewish parents but was in the mafia maybe he was half breed.
Doyle was Christian, Daniel Negreanu is also Christian. Sklansky might be from Jewish parents also.
The best players play through their gut when it really matters the most.
Do you think everything you've said can be summed up as being present at the table and feeling your emotions without thinking or identifying with them and past experiences, and that thought is merely a tool for the mind rather than being predominant? in another words, just being pure observation and from there actions will arrive, and the thinking will be just an expression of perceptions ? of course all of this will use technical knowledge , but again, technical knowledge being the tool and not the action
How did you get introduced into the game of poker op? Before poker did you play any strategy games? I started playing chess at 4 years old and quit at about 13 years old because I got burnt out. I have played Stratego, Magic the Gathering, chess, poker, warcraft. I like this thread thanks for posting this. I was just wondering what your background was before you got into poker.
I feel you. this is the kind of thing that comes with age... some come to it at a very young age. I think Andrew "Luckychewy" Lichtenberger would subscribe to... GLGL

I think you already sense what’s going on underneath.
Tilt usually isn’t about the cards or bad beats, it’s that moment your system goes, “Here we go again, I’m not in control,” echoing all the times life blindsided you. Poker just becomes the mirror for that deeper tension you’ve carried.
Instead of trying to “control rage,” what if you let the game be your training ground to hold your center no matter what happens? Before you sit down, you could remind yourself:
“I’m here to practice staying in command of my energy, hand by hand, breath by breath.”
You’re not powerless against variance. You’re using the game to become stronger, more grounded, and to transmute that old frustration into calm presence, even when it’s tough.
Exactly. Anyone who has ever had that feeling of just knowing without being able to logically explain it and then being right more often than not has felt this.
That is the subtlety of intuition and gut. It is that deeper psychic sense we all have. Most people just forget how to trust it or override it with fear and second guessing.
The best players are not only running math. They are letting intuition guide the timing and the feel of decisions when it matters most. It is a muscle we can all remember how to use if we stop dismissing it just because it does not come with a spreadsheet attached.

Presence is the most important thing you can bring to the poker table. When you enter a game, it helps to treat it like a game of energy. When your awareness is clear and conscious, you will start discovering solutions and lines you did not even know were possible. Even your luck seems to improve because the universe rewards presence over distraction.
The mind is always searching for answers, especially if you tend to be a mental person, but those answers often arrive in forms you do not expect. You are right that thought is just a tool, not the source of action. Pure observation allows you to feel your emotions without becoming them, letting you act from a place of calm clarity. Technical knowledge remains essential, but it is meant to serve presence, not replace it.
From this place, the game begins to feel like it plays through you, and that is where your deepest edge is found.

I started playing poker around 13 with friends, mostly seven card stud and limit hold’em. I have always loved games, and poker pulled me in because it lined up with what motivated me and highlighted my natural talents. I was always strong at observation, exploitation, and strategy.
Before poker, I was really into RPGs like Diablo 2, Starcraft, Magic the Gathering, and Pokemon. I loved the fantasy worlds and the depth of those games. Now I get to live that out while having fun and empowering myself and others around me.
Poker gave me a sense of freedom no other job could offer, and I think that is what a lot of people here are searching for too, even if they have not fully realized it yet. Poker does not have to be the end goal. It can be the training ground for greater things if you let it be.
Yeah that's how it works. I play like that too. Wanted to open some sort of thread on that.
vladimir korzinin in triton is a recent energetic example.
Im improving and cleaning my ability to access that higher spirit flow.
When on marihuana I happen to move smoothly into that zone of luck and flow.
Ill take days off marihuana now.
In my most recent deepruns I couldnt hold that clean connection to spiritworld and I want to realize it now.
Ill improve my grip on spirit luck flow and Ill base my grip in spirit and flow.
