Hey Max!

And a great section it turned out to be. Basically ties the theory about the zone all together and includes stuff from his WSOPE final table.




Lol, but I can't quite score like...

My client list is confidential and I can only mention the people who have already made it known that I work with them. So, sort of a small list. But I've had a lot of fun working with Lex Veldhuis...

Absolutely. I could be a 30 year old retirey. Retirement it seems isn't great for your health and longevity: http://www.freakonomics.com/2012/05/17/retirement-kills-a-new-marketplace-podcast/

Poker was pretty random. I don't know if I would have thought about it on my own. I was working with golfers, after getting a license in mental health counseling when I met Dusty Schmidt on the golf...

Depends on the age of the child - but PTSD can happen to children/adults of any age. I do think a big part of how kids react is a function of how the adults in their lives react - especially younger...

#1 eliminate your current C-game. May sound strange to say, but a major reason that players can't play very long is because they have to think to hard. Every decision you make burns energy and the...

I've been fortunate enough to have a lot of great guests. My interview with Krantz a few weeks ago was awesome - I really enjoyed talking with him. Can't really say who was the most interesting -...

Hey Hippy!

That's great - hope you enjoy the new one.

Actually, I'd say if Viktor could learn to keep his emotions from spiraling that would be the ideal. There's no doubt in my mind that one...

Thanks Mark - appreciate the feedback! I love working in poker and will be around for the foreseeable future. But I have considered writing for a broader audience and am excited about the prospects...

Why don't you ask them politely to chew with their mouth closed?

The other side of this is why does it bother you? Do you think it's rude? Is it just the sound? Understanding this can help you to...

Very sorry to hear about this. I've had a few pets close to me die and I grieved both of their losses. I hadn't thought about one of them for a long time and today saw a dog that looked exactly like...

Alllllrighty yall, I got head out for tonight, but I will be back to answer some other questions I missed tomorrow. Adios for now.

Anyone can learn, but not anyone can become winning poker players. Talent is definitely a factor.

It applies elsewhere as long as that person is willing to do some work. I’ve heard from golfers, day-traders, pool players, chess players, and magic the gathering players who have all read and loved...

I’m of the belief that people should do what works. Sometimes that’s hard to know. In this case, it sounds like reading multiple authors isn’t working, so try the other approach and see what happens.

Hi Tommy, I’m not really sure. I haven’t studied or noticed this much. I do think in general, the more people play in ways that are most congruent with their natural style, the better they play.

...

Set clear goals for the session, including working hard to recognize when your focus has slipped, and work hard to refocus each time. Focus can be a bit like a muscle. If you’re too relaxed with it,...

Not for a while right before you play. A warm-up is designed to get you ready to play and shouldn’t be more than 30 minutes, and likely closer to 10-15 minutes for most players. But yes definitely do...

Important, but in terms of performance I think some people have overblown it’s importance. There is research that proves exercise and a better diet can increase energy levels. But it’s important for...

Victor Blom could use a little help with tilt…

On my mental game of poker podcast Phil Hellmuth was thinking about taking Adderall. Mike Matusow suggested he try it and I challenged him a bit on why that may not be the best decision he could...

Well since I suck at poker – the best advice came when I met the crew from Stoxpoker back in 2008 in Vegas around the WSOP. In so many words I realized that I either need to take learning poker...

I would pepper them with questions, such as:

What are the situations where it happens? What are other spots where it doesn’t? What’s the difference? What’s the first sign that you’re on tilt? What...

And not only do they just think of tilt control, they also think tilt means anything less than playing your best. Defining tilt that broadly is a huge problem when you’re trying to solve problems....

it didn't survive the fall...
