Ah, poker. The game that captured hearts and imaginations. The imagery may be about chips and luck and the flip of the card, but it’s a lot more philosophical than that. It’s a game where one decision can expose everything you thought you knew about control and self-mastery. Amateurs chase victory. The real pros? They chase understanding. Understanding of the rules of the game, the odds, the maths, the opponent, but mostly themselves. Yes, luck plays a role, instinct matters, but it’s a game that constantly reminds us that mastery is not about striking it lucky, but in the quiet discipline to keep at it. It’s a game won and lost in the margins, and those who know how to make the margin calls walk away the victor.

According to Karim, there are only two modes: either you set the tone or you react to someone else’s. And that holds true both at the table and in everyday life. A leader doesn’t do more - a leader acts first.

It’s a simple inner switch: “I’ll try it,” “I’ll raise,” “I’ll make a decision, not an excuse.” These micro-moments are exactly what define the difference between those who live life and those to whom life just happens.

Let’s cut through the glossy promises and look at what really matters for any serious gambler: long-term return on investment. Poker players like to talk edge, casino players talk luck, and everyone likes to win. But when the chips are down and the math starts to matter, where does skill actually pay off more? The answer lies in comparing cold statistics (Return to Player (RTP), variance, and the influence of player decisions) across both domains.

The luxurious Merit Royal Diamond Resort in Kyrenia is hosting 15 WSOP Super Circuit Cyprus tournaments from October 9 to 21.
