Why Everyone Thinks Poker Is Dead (But They're Wrong) · S7E7
The Official Red Chip Poker Podcast - A podcast by Red Chip Poker - Tuesdays

You've heard the claims—poker is dead. The rise of GTO solvers, real-time assistance (RTA), cheating scandals, and unbeatable rake structures have all fueled the conversation. But how much of it is hype, and how much is reality? In this episode of the Red Chip Poker Podcast, we take a serious, fact-driven look at whether poker is truly in decline—or if it's simply evolving. You’ll explore the current landscape of online and live poker, including the influence of poker AI, the misconception that the game has been fully solved, and how technology has shaped both the risks and opportunities available to today’s players. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s still possible to profit at the tables, this episode breaks down what you actually need to know—and how to stay one step ahead. From discussing the difference between strong and weak GTO solutions to dissecting the challenges of RTA-based cheating, this video gives you the tools to make informed decisions about your own poker journey. We also touch on which formats might be safer or more lucrative in the coming years, and what trends could shape the next chapter of the game. Whether you're a recreational player or someone taking poker seriously, this episode aims to replace fear with clarity. The game isn’t dead—but it is different. And understanding those differences could be the key to finding long-term success. **LINKS** · GTO Poker Gems 2 (The book): https://redchippoker.com/gto-gems-2-book · What About Live Poker?: https://www.splitsuit.com/live-poker-cash-game-truths · More RCP Poker Books: https://redchippoker.com/poker-books/ **JOIN US ON DISCORD** Join us on Discord today: https://redchippoker.com/discord
