It illustrates life in a way very few games do. Every decision is made with incomplete information, every hand tests your ability to read people as much as cards, and every session forces you to separate short-term luck from long-term skill. In both poker and life, success comes not from the cards you're dealt, but from how you play them - knowing when to hold firm, when to fold, and when to risk everything on conviction.
And so too should the interfaces we use to play it. Beautiful not only in looks, but in performance, speed, and consistency. The game demands clarity of thought, precision, and focus. The software we use should meet that same standard. Poker demands the most out of players, and players should demand the most out of it.
