Is poker more mental than technical in today’s game?

[Bawse]

With solvers and GTO tools widely available, has poker become more about mindset and discipline than pure strategy? Or does technical edge still dominate?

Poker today is like mental warfare first before technical stuff. Solvers have spoiled everybody’s confidence. But knowing the theory means nothing if tilt controls your hands.

I think poker is both but believe the mental side often more important. A lot of players know solid poker strategy, yet struggle when emotions, pressure, or variance hit. Staying disciplined and making good decisions cis often harder than learning the technical concepts.

I think the technical side gets you to a certain level, but the mental game is what helps you stay there. Making it after a long losing session or a bad beat is much harder, and that's where many players slip up.
