Frequently asked questions
What do A game, B game and C game mean in poker?
Your A game is how you play at your best: focused, disciplined, able to make the tough right decisions. Your C game is your worst level, when you play fast, without thinking or on tilt. Your B game sits in between. Putting words to them helps you spot in real time when you slip from your A game toward your C game.
How do I recognize which level I'm playing at the table?
By describing the signs of each level in advance. Once you know what your C game looks like (playing too many hands, auto-rebuying, watching a stream on the side), you spot them during the session and can take a break before it gets costly. This questionnaire gets you to write down those signs for all three levels.
How do I get my game sheet as a PDF?
