What Does Each Difficulty Mean?
Each poker chip trick has a corresponding difficulty. Difficulties are meant as a way to gauge which tricks are easy to learn and which are hard. I thought it would be useful so that poker players would have the option to learn some of the easier tricks first. Some of the easier tricks actually will help when learning the more difficult ones.
Ok, so what does each difficulty mean?
Difficulty - 1 (Easy)
These are the easiest poker chip tricks to learn. Most can be mastered within an hour or two. You won’t “WOW” any poker players with these tricks, but you might impress the once a month player or someone who has never watched poker on TV.
Difficulty - 2 (Medium)
Middle of the road poker chip tricks. These usually take at least 3-4 hours of practice to learn. Some of these tricks are in the “arsenal” of every true poker player.
Difficulty - 3 (Hard)
The hardest poker chip tricks of the bunch. To learn any of these you’ll need a few hours of practice for at least several days, maybe more. Some will even “WOW” other poker players. You may get extremely frustrated while attempting these tricks. Keep at it though, because I’m living proof you can learn them. You’ll feel a sense of accomplishment when you complete one successfully.
The difficulty ranking system outlined above is nothing more than my personal opinion. Every person is different because there are a lot of factors that go into learning the tricks. The length, thickness, and strength of your fingers will weigh heavily in how fast you can learn any particular trick. I have very long skinny fingers, which have gotten stronger over time while practicing more and more tricks with the poker chips.
