Episode 41 - Bronze Medals, ICM Mistakes and Tired Tilt

MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Consultant Dr. Tricia Cardner devote Episode 41 to discussing a recent slight ICM mistake that Gareth made as well as a deep run that he posted up in the Big $55. Gareth took us through some ICM calculations in a spot where 3 players are left and the two short stacks are close in size to each other and the deep stack has an overwhelming percentage of the chips. It turns out that we must call the deep stack’s push a lot tighter than we might imagine in this spot.

We also discussed the fact that it is so important to focus on the fundamentals whether we are talking about strategy fundies or mental game fundies. Evolving has to be a constant process if you want to keep up with this game!

On that note, Tricia shared a message she got from a colleague describing the connection he found between being tired and going on tilt. She explained several physiological reasons why that is so and outlines a number of tips to help you improve your sleep. Playing tired is definitely sub-optimal.
