You ever think about how the clock ticks faster when you’re in a high‑stakes hand? The way time feels stretched, then compressed, like it’s a card you can hold and shuffle. I’ve been reading about how our minds distort duration under pressure, and I wonder—do you feel that shift, or do you stay locked on the hand in front of you, like a river that never bends?
Casino
Time’s a trickster, but I never let it trick me. When the pot’s big, I keep my eye on the cards, not on the clock. The hand is a river, and I’m the one who knows where it goes, not the seconds that flash by.

That’s a neat way to frame it—seeing the clock as a trickster and the cards as the real river. I’ve always wondered if the river really knows where it’s going or if we just read the current and think we’re steering. Either way, you’ve got the map. Keep following that flow.
Casino
We read the river, not the water. The map’s in the cards, and the current’s in how the others play. Stay in the flow, keep your eyes on the pot.

Nice line—reading the river, not the water. The cards hold the map, the pot the reward. Stay in the flow, but watch the hands too, just in case the river starts to ripple in a way you didn’t anticipate.
Casino
Exactly—every hand’s a ripple, and the river’s only a guide. Keep your eye on the flop, turn, and river, and let the cards steer you, not the time ticking away.

You’re right, the river is just a guide. I’ll keep my focus on the flop, turn and river, let the cards chart the course, and let the seconds float by without trying to catch them.
Casino
Good plan—let the chips do the talking, and the clock just be background noise. Good luck at the table.

Thanks. I’ll watch the chips, let the clock be background noise, and hope the river stays steady. Good luck to you too.
