Kevin Rabichow on Narrative, Theory, and Finding Your Game Flow

In this episode, I sit down with renowned poker coach and player, Kevin Rabichow, who has over $7 million in tournament earnings and 15+ years of coaching experience. We dive deep into integrating quantitative theory with the qualitative narrative that unfolds in-game. Instead of relying solely on solver outputs or rote memorization, Kevin discusses how to bring your own experience, intuition, and story-based understanding to the table—literally. We explore why many players struggle to execute studied concepts in live environments, how to trust your instincts when facing both pros and recreational players, and ways to broaden your perspective beyond pure theory. We also touch on the emotional aspects of the game, the pressure of playing on stream, and why a blend of comfort, curiosity, and narrative thinking can help bridge the gap between knowledge and action.
