Recently, I enjoy playing Texas Hold'em, but only on my phone with Happy Beans. I started with 10 million Happy Beans and have made it to 3 billion Happy Beans. Playing Texas Hold'em is similar to opening a single; there's a thrill in the gamble, but in the end, playing with Happy Beans becomes rather tedious.

At first, it felt a bit like leveling up by defeating monsters. As I played more, Douyin started recommending competition videos, teaching you how to cheat, GTO strategies, and how to calculate probabilities. But just looking at them gives me a headache, and I can't remember any of it.

The strategy that helped me win 3 billion is actually quite simple: leave myself some room to maneuver. In the first few days, I would lose everything after hitting a few tens of millions. The game would automatically upgrade me to a higher level when it saw I had more money, doubling my bets.

Later on, I only played in lower-level rooms. With 10 million, I would only participate in tables where the maximum bet was 1 million. This way, even if I went all-in every time, I could still afford to go all-in 10 times. I only moved to the 3 million tables after winning up to 30 million; I never played above my level.

I would only dare to place bets and steal wins when I had a good amount of backup. If I was making a good profit in a single game, I would switch rooms and continue with a fresh hand.

This is actually very similar to how we manage our positions. When you bet heavily, you naturally become hesitant, worried and fearful, which affects your mindset. So how much backup have you left for yourself?
