5 poker lessons every trader should steal
Trading is just poker with a Bloomberg terminal. Same psychology, same math, same way to go broke if you get cocky.
🟡 Have a plan before you sit down — good players walk in knowing exactly how they’ll play different situations. Bad ones make it up as they go. Markets punish the second group first.
🟡 Know the odds — in poker, you’re calculating your outs. In trading, it’s risk/reward and probabilities. If you can’t do the math, you’re not playing the same game as the winners.
🟡 Play the long game — folding is free. Tilt is expensive. Both in cards and charts, survival beats “all-in” hero plays.
🟡 Watch the pros — poker tells = market sentiment. In both, the edge is spotting what others don’t see and acting before they do.
🟡 Every move moves the table — big bets shift psychology. In markets, large buys or sells can create ripples you can ride — or get crushed by.
The rules don’t change. Only the chips do.
