👾 Why poker?
We believe the best minds in tech are game thinkers.
Demis Hassabis crushed at chess before DeepMind. Zuck plays poker. Reid Hoffman reimagined Catan. Great players make great builders.
Poker reveals how someone thinks. It's instinct, math, timing, and emotional control — in public.
Zuck used to play poker every night with his cofounder Eduard Saverin in the early days of building Facebook
