In poker, your C game refers to the level you play at when you’re at your worst—tired, tilted (emotionally upset), distracted, or just off your game. It’s the opposite of your A game, which is when you’re fully focused, making sharp decisions, and playing your best strategy.
Poker players often talk about their A, B, and C games as a way to measure performance under different conditions. Your C game is full of mistakes you usually wouldn’t make, like calling too much, bluffing at the wrong time, or ignoring key information.
The idea is to recognize your C game, minimize how often it shows up, and work on improving it so your “worst” isn’t too damaging.
Tracking your A, B, and C games helps poker players understand how mindset and focus affect their results, not just skill alone.
