Episode 69 - The Effects of Sleep on Poker Performance

Welcome to Episode 68! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Strategist Dr. Tricia Cardner are back discussing all things poker strategy & mindset. In this episode, we focused on the difference between process goals and outcome goals. We answered a question from a Facebook group member who was wondering if he should set a goal of ending each month in the black. We explained the difference between the types of goals and discussed when it makes sense to deploy each. Pro tip: match your processes to the outcome you eventually want. Gareth recently produced an interesting video for YouTube where he answered the age-old question: is Lena900 a nit? In it, he looked at several interesting hands/spots from the Pokerstars Winter Series $530 turbo final table.

Episode 68 - Outcome Goals vs Process Goals

Welcome to Episode 67! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Strategist Dr. Tricia Cardner are back discussing all things poker. Gareth mentioned that he is still creating content which you can find on his YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/mttpokerschool" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/mttpokerschool</a> Tricia also launched her course Escape From the Downswing Trap which you can find at: <a href="https://www.peakpokermindset.com/escape-the-downswing-trap" rel="noopener">https://www.peakpokermindset.com/escape-the-downswing-trap</a> You can take $30usd off with the coupon code: POTM30 In this episode we discussed two major topics that are especially timely. First, we answered a question from a listener about the importance of gratitude. Second, we discussed goals (in preparation for 2020)! We had a long discussion where we talked about some of the research related to gratitude as well as some practical strategies for implementing a gratitude practice. Then we turned our attention to goals and discussed some of our thoughts on why it’s important to set goals as well as some of the common impediments to reaching our goals. Developing habits out of our goal-oriented behavior is tough, but we offered some advice that should be of help!

Episode 67 - The Importance of Gratitude & Preparing for 2020

Welcome to Episode 66! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Strategist Dr. Tricia Cardner are back discussing all things poker. Gareth has been creating content like a machine! He’s written articles and posted quite a few new videos over on his YouTube channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/mttpokerschool" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/mttpokerschool</a>. We discussed how poker is a challenging subject to learn and master because most of us are so results oriented. It is much wiser to our study mindfully and consider our development over the long haul. We also have to teach ourselves to view our hands more globally. There are many shades of grey when it comes to poker! Keeping a process orientation as opposed to a results orientation will lead to better results. Your goal should be to improve by a small amount each day. In addition, Gareth shared that he is still reading Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday (<a href="https://amzn.to/36IfT5S)" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/36IfT5S)</a> & he and Tricia chatted a bit about the role ego can play in the life of poker players. They also discussed a key point from the book which is that you must work out who you are competing against. ***BIG NEWS*** Tricia announced that she is releasing her course: Escape from the Downswing Trap! Purchase it at <a href="https://www.peakpokermindset.com/" rel="noopener">https://www.peakpokermindset.com/</a> Save $30usd with Promo Code POTM30 In honor of the course release, we also talked about managing your ego, cultivating an anti-fragile mindset & the role that our thoughts and emotions play in how long our downswing lasts.

Episode 66 - Mindful Study and Long-Term Development

Welcome to Episode 65! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Strategist Dr. Tricia Cardner are back answering a listener question about the psychology behind the fear of bluffing.

Tricia and Gareth break down both the psychological reasons behind lacking the confidence to bluff as well as some strategic factors to consider. In addition, Gareth shared that he is reading Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday (<a href="https://amzn.to/36IfT5S)" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/36IfT5S)</a> & he and Tricia chatted a bit about the role ego can play in the life of poker players.

Episode 65 - The Fear of Bluffing

Welcome to Episode 64! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Strategist Dr. Tricia Cardner are back with another jam-packed episode that focuses on GTO vs. Exploitative play. A listener sent in a question asking for further clarification on when to play GTO and when to use a more exploitative style. Gareth and Tricia gave an overview of GTO as well as the common solvers. They discussed the fact that solvers are only as good as the inputs that they are given and that there are limitations to the data they produce due to these limitations.

Welcome to Episode 64! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Strategist Dr. Tricia Cardner are back with another jam-packed episode that focuses on GTO vs. Exploitative play. A listener sent in a question asking for further clarification on when to play GTO and when to use a more exploitative style. Gareth and Tricia gave an overview of GTO as well as the common solvers. They discussed the fact that solvers are only as good as the inputs that they are given and that there are limitations to the data they produce due to these limitations. Knowing and understanding these limitations can help you determine when adjustments may be in order. Get your FREE Post Session Review Sheets from Tricia’s training website.

Episode 64 - Let's Talk GTO

Welcome to Episode 63! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Strategist Dr. Tricia Cardner are back with another jam-packed episode! In this episode, they discuss Gareth’s new coaching program MTT Game Changer (<a href="https://classroom.mttpokerschool.com/mtt-game-changer)" rel="noopener">https://classroom.mttpokerschool.com/mtt-game-changer)</a> that he launched recently by doing a review of some of his most interesting hands from the 2019 WCOOP. (<a href="https://youtu.be/Banh-V3T6b0)" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/Banh-V3T6b0)</a> They discuss how when going over hands, and especially when playing, it’s important to ask yourself the right questions. Doing so will make all the difference, and Gareth's new coaching program is designed to help you do just that! Tricia also mentioned her upcoming downswing course and they talk about a few ways a downswing can manifest itself – especially through self-sabotage and poor mindset. Then they get into an interesting question sent in by Lou who wanted more information on doing a post-session review like Tricia discussed in her book Peak Poker Performance. (<a href="https://amzn.to/2AGzVik)" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/2AGzVik)</a> Tricia expounded on this topic by giving a multi-step process that you can follow to maximally review your play, your mindset and construct a list of adjustments and changes you’d like to make going forward. As a bonus, Tricia created a packet of worksheets (<a href="https://www.peakpokermindset.com/post-session-review-reflection-worksheets)" rel="noopener">https://www.peakpokermindset.com/post-session-review-reflection-worksheets)</a> which you can use to go through the post session review and reflection process.

Episode 63 - MTT Game Changer and Post-Session Reviews

Welcome to Episode 62! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Strategist Dr. Tricia Cardner are back after a too-long hiatus! In this episode we break down all the fun we had between last year’s SCOOP, WSOP & our book release (Purposeful Practice for Poker). Gareth also previewed his current WCOOP plans including an announcement that he will be hosting a free webinar where he reviews hist most interesting WCOOP hands, so check out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/729678507472967/" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/events/729678507472967/</a> for more info on that! Then we got into an interesting hand sent in by Zac from a $109 WCOOP freeze-out event. The hand features a blind versus blind spot with 26bbs effective. We break down all the action and talk about decision points on all streets. Then Tricia led a discussion on some common illusions of competence that can impede our ability to learn poker effectively. Learning takes effort and reading one book or watching one video is not going to make you an expert. There is a difference between feeling informed on a topic and really knowing it. Really knowing something means you should be able to: • Explain it in detail using your own words • Relate it to other facts and concepts • Understand why it is so Want us to answer your poker question?

Episode 61 - Preparing for SCOOP and The WSOP

Welcome to Episode 60! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Strategist Dr. Tricia Cardner are back with more answers to listener questions. But first, they start the episode with a spirited discussion of the controversy surrounding social media maven and aspiring poker player Catherine “catrific” Valdes who was removed from a WSOP-C Circuit event. She registered for one event, was seated in another, realized it and stayed in long enough to bust a player and amass a large chip stack. She was unhappy with the way the floor people talked to her according to a now removed YouTube video. Gareth and Tricia dissect her motivations and go over what to do if you should find yourself in a similar spot. Then the discussion turned to the question: What do you do when you no longer enjoy poker? Tricia led the discussion on the psychological construct known as burnout including the signs and symptoms and possible remedies. Gareth shared some of his personal experiences with poker burnout, too. Want us to answer your poker question?

Episode 60 - Controversy and Burnout

Welcome to Episode 59! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Strategist Dr. Tricia Cardner covered a lot of ground in this episode. From discussing the discomfort that can come from getting outside of your comfort zone through to a discussion on magical thinking, they cover many mindset topics. They also discussed some of the issues at Stars and talked about the responsibility that sponsored pros have (or don’t have as the case may be) to promote the game in ways that are beneficial to the poker community as a whole. Gareth then took over the mic to answer Stuart’s question about a hand he played from the button with 118 left and 98 getting paid. Stuart had 16bbs and was dealt K2s. The small blind was sitting on 11bbs and the BB had 64bbs. We discussed the information that was missing from the question in order to reinforce all of the relevant variables that you need to collect data on if you want to maximize your analyses. Gareth talked us through our options and spent some time breaking down limping as a good option in this spot. He also explained the limits with the poker software and factors we need to consider when evaluating the results. Gareth recently released a satellite strategy video with Dara O’Kearney, which you can check out here (his channel has a ton of other great content, too!): <a href="https://youtu.be/GvMI8bAvA9s" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/GvMI8bAvA9s</a> Want us to answer your poker question?

Episode 59 - Magical Thinking and Money Bubble Strategy

Welcome to Episode 58! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Strategist Dr. Tricia Cardner open the show by celebrating the fact that Gareth just shipped the $55 Clasico on Party for almost $5k! In addition, he also made the final table of a Monster Series event on Party. He also was a guest on an episode of The Chip Race Podcast where he talked about an interesting hand he played recently. After a bit more catching up, where the two hosts discuss Navy Seal training when it comes to developing an unbeatable mindset, Tricia answered a mindset question surrounding the concept of how our thoughts dictate our feelings. If you want to change how you feel, change how you think. She gave several strategies for doing so. Gareth then took over the mic to answer Adam’s question about a hand he played blind versus blind. We break down each street of the hand and Gareth explains both the GTO solution as well as the more exploitative line. He really stressed that we need to account for population tendencies and not blindly follow the GTO solution that PIO spits out for us.

In Episode 56, MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Strategist Dr. Tricia talk about the proper play with KTs and a 9bb stack at the end of day1 in a multiday tournament. Jamie wanted to know if his shove was correct or if he should min-raise and fold to a shove so as to ensure he makes it to day 2. Tricia then turned the conversation to dealing with new year’s goals and resolutions and explained the myriad of reasons why most people are not able to achieve them. She gave tips and strategies to deal with this issue and Gareth shared some of the techniques he is using to more effectively meet his goals. Tricia also mentioned her free online course called Rev Up Your Poker Success as a resource which you can check out at: <a href="http://www.peakpokermindset.com/" rel="noopener">http://www.peakpokermindset.com/</a> If you want to take your tournament game to the next level then check out <a href="https://www.mttpokerschool.com" rel="noopener">https://www.mttpokerschool.com</a> Want us to answer your poker question?
