The question we get on WhatsApp every week isn't 'which hands are strong' — it's 'what does this actually look like?'. We collected three typical journeys from the Israeli community: someone who started from zero, someone who burned a bankroll and fixed it, and someone who reached a first final table. The stories are anonymised and rewritten to protect privacy — no names, no profit promises.

Guides teach you the rules; stories teach you what the curve feels like. Most players joining the ClubGG community in Israel don't get stuck because they don't know hand rankings — they get stuck on human moments: tilt after a bad beat, moving up in stakes too early, or playing while exhausted. These three journeys describe exactly those moments.
Every story is based on conversations with community players, published anonymously and rewritten. We do not invent names, we do not publish balance screenshots, and we never present amounts as a promised outcome. Where numbers appear, they are orders of magnitude for illustration only. That position is also stated in our editorial policy: transparency beats an impressive story.
From the first table — a player who only knew poker from films, installed the client, and learned his first two weeks at micro tables. The lesson: start at a stake where the money doesn't change your decisions.
Bankroll recovery — a losing year caused by exactly two mistakes: stakes that were too high and sessions that continued after the loss. The lesson: a written stop rule, decided in advance.
First final table — a deep MTT run, including the moment the bubble changed every decision. The lesson: ICM matters more than your hand.
We add new stories as community members send them. If you have played with us and have a journey to tell — a win, a fall, or simply an insight that took time to internalise — message us on WhatsApp or via our contact page. We publish only with explicit permission, anonymously if you prefer, and never expose personal details.
Leave your details and we'll get back to you on WhatsApp within minutes.
