Quantum Poker Academy — Origin, Mirrors & the WSOP | D. Colin Palmer

Science Fiction Author D. Colin Palmer invites you into a poker room dressed like a little temple of audacity—red sequin drapes that could make Liberace grin, “Dogs Playing Poker” staring down like patron saints, and a hot‑dog machine hissing in the corner like a tame star—because this isn’t just another monologue, it’s the charter for a training academy in hard times: free software, serious practice, and a clear road toward the World Series of Poker for anyone willing to grind. Under the hood, tonight’s thesis is simple and wild: imagine the universe as one collective consciousness, God as the sum of all atomic matter and the silent laws that hold it together, a point of origin so clean it reflected itself without loss, and then a hall of mirrors—each later world a little more scuffed by time—where only the most coherent, most noble souls keep shining across the final reflections. We’ll thread it with quantum mechanics (wavefunctions, decoherence, phase information), theoretical physics (symmetry breaking and low‑entropy grace at the start), and Buddhism (dependent origination, form and emptiness, attention as freedom). Then we’ll translate it into the felt language of cards: ranges, EV, bankroll discipline, tilt control, and the mental game required to keep your reflection crisp no matter how many mirrors deep you go. If this frequency resonates, you already know what to do: listen hard, train harder, and take your seat—because coherence under pressure is the one edge that compounds forever.
