The Day a Poker Player Decides to Train Like Saitama

Every poker player has dreamt of a shortcut to greatness: a secret training regime that forges ice-cold nerves, instant reads, and unshakable focus.
Then along comes One Punch Man, the anime hero who became unstoppable by doing the same thing every single day: 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10 km run.
Ridiculous? Maybe. But beneath the absurdity lies something all poker players would definitely need: discipline through simplicity.

So what if a poker player took that mindset to the felt?

100 Hands, 100 Bluffs, 100 Folds

Imagine this: every day, you play 100 hands, run 100 calculated bluffs, and make 100 disciplined folds.
No shortcuts. No excuses. No “I don’t feel like studying today.”

This becomes your One Punch routine. The repetition trains your mechanics and more importantly your mindset:

• 100 hands sharpen your focus.

• 100 bluffs teach controlled aggression.

• 100 folds train humility and restraint.

Soon, your actions become instinctive, not emotional reactions, but rehearsed precision. That’s where real poker strength begins! And nevermind if running that many hands and folds and bluffs fills up your day. It's not like you have to work right? Poker is your new life. You aim at becoming a poker superhero.

The Power of Boredom

Saitama’s greatest secret wasn’t strength but rather endurance. He kept doing the same boring exercises every single day, even when it didn’t feel heroic. And if you think about it, poker kinda works the same way! Most players quit the grind when the results don’t come fast enough, but the ones who learn to embrace monotony by reviewing hands, watching replays, and studying odds, are the ones who wake up one morning and realize they’ve leveled up without even noticing.

Boredom is the gatekeeper of greatness! Pass through it, and you’ll find focus waiting on the other side. If watching hand histories feels dull, remember: Saitama trained so hard he can break the sound barrier. You can at least survive a 30-minute solver review, right? RIGHT?

Tilt Immunity: Becoming Emotionally Bald

Saitama lost his hair. Poker players lose their sanity. Well, unless they learn emotional detachment. Think about it: Saitama fights monsters without flinching; you face bad beats without tilting. Same energy. 
The day you stop letting variance affect your mood, you’ve reached what we’ll call Poker Enlightenment. It’s not that you stop caring, it’s that you stop reacting.
You’ve trained your emotional muscles until they’re as tough as Saitama’s punch! And sure, you might not be bald yet, but after the fifth flush on the river against you, the hair loss is basically guaranteed.

From Grinder to Hero

Every hero has an origin story. In poker, it’s the long, lonely hours studying solver lines, reviewing leaks, and folding the third-best hand on purpose. There’s no secret technique, no mystical card-counting hack, just consistency, patience, and a refusal to quit. Do that long enough, and one day your peers will ask, “How do you always make the right move?”
And you’ll just smile and say, “100 hands. 100 bluffs. 100 folds. Every day.” Then you’ll walk off into the night. Not to save the world, but to make another perfectly-timed hero call against some guy named “xXxB1gCh1pXxX.” To each his own.

The Punchline

Poker greatness is 10% about flash or luck, and 90% about repetition. Do the right things, over and over and over, until you look superhuman to everyone else.
Just like Saitama, you won’t feel powerful right away. But one day, you’ll look around and realize you’re untouchable because you trained for it. The bad news? Nobody will believe how you got there. The good news? It won't matter.
