Episode 66 - Mindful Study and Long-Term Development

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 https://www.youtube.com/mttpokerschool.

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 (https://amzn.to/36IfT5S) & 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.
